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

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?

The main difference between a babysitter and a nanny is the level of responsibility and commitment. Babysitters typically provide short-term or occasional care, often during evenings or weekends, and focus on supervising children for a few hours at a time. Nannies are usually employed on a regular schedule and may take on a broader role, including daily routines, meal prep, transportation, and more.

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.

I'm a mother of two grown adult children in their 30s I also ran a daycare out of my house when I first became a single mother loved it had to sell my home so it ended about a year or so after I started it. I so enjoyed the interaction with my children in my home and taking care of other kids it' so fun and fulfilling. Hairdresser by professions always enjoyed the interaction will give you a hair service to children. I have been told by my grown adult children that I will not be having any grandchildren . I'm seeking to fulfill that void in a childcare position.

Hi, my name is Hezekiah Kirkwood. I have several years of hands-on experience working with children in both daycare and before- and after-school settings. I previously worked as a childcare worker at Creative World in Belton and as a before- and after-school teacher with LINC in Kansas City, where I supported children of different age groups throughout the day. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve graduated and received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Science with an emphasis in Nutrition and Food Science, which has strengthened my understanding of child wellness and development. Overall, I bring patience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with children.

I’ve worked with babies and preschoolers for 28 years as a pediatric physical therapist through the Missouri First Steps program, and worked 2 years as a P.T. with KCMO school district. I retired from physical therapy in 2024, and my husband and I enjoy periodic travel. I’ve been teaching the elementary class at church on Wednesday nights for 2-1/2 years, where we incorporate skits and costume fun. I began doing morning storytimes at preschools 2 years ago, and recently turned it into a non-profit corporation called, “Barbara’s Stories.” I love & enjoy all children, including my own 5 grandchildren! And, of course, I love to see children involved in physical activity, creativity… and books!
