Q: How much does it cost to hire a babysitter in Cary?

The cost of hiring a babysitter in the United States varies based on factors such as location, number of children, and the babysitter’s experience. 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 Cary?

The main difference between a babysitter and a nanny in Cary is the level of responsibility and commitment.

Hi, my name is Ava Wade and I am 18 years old and a college student. I have been a lifeguard and camp counselor for 2 years. I have experience with kids ranging from toddlers to young teens. I also am CPR certified from being a lifeguard. I have loved working with kids in camp and being a lifeguard with kids around. I love the outdoors and traveling to new places.

Hi there! My name is Kayla! Many of my kiddos I've cared for refer to me as "LaLa". I love being a child caregiver so much for so many reasons -- too many to list here. But I'll say my favorite reason is the joy kids bring to my life. I have been a professional child caregiver for almost two years. Before creating a career centered on kids, I worked with children in daycare, church, and other volunteer and paid settings. I am CPR certified and go to great lengths to assure your child is safe while in my care. It's important that, as a caregiver, I bring children equal amounts of comfort and enrichment. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to reach out to me! I look forward to coming alongside your family to help care for those who matter most!

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.
