On average, parents can expect to pay between $18 to $29 per hour for one child, with babysitter rates increasing by $1 to $3 per hour for each additional child. It’s important to note that last-minute bookings may incur higher rates, typically an additional $2 to $3 per hour.

Q: What is the difference between a babysitter and a nanny in Kensington?

I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.
