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 want to nurture the massive imagination of children and develop special moments that become part of great core memories. I started volunteering to tutor Grade level children with the City Year program while in High School. At the same time, I also began volunteering in the Nursery at my local assembly. I have over 15 years experience professionally working as a Summer Day Camp Instructor and After School Arts Instructor/Director. Safety is top priority so I have a training certificate in Fire Safety and have taken classes in CPR. I like to have fun so board games (I think I'm the Candyland Master), coloring sheets (especially with a great box of Crayola crayons) and building blocks are my go-to for a good time.

Hello! My name is Erin. I am a recent college graduate from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. I received a bachelor's degree in public health with a minor in community health and nutrition. I have a career background in healthcare and the restaurant service industry. Working in health care has prepared me for emergencies and helps me adhere to safety measures. It has also allowed me to show compassion towards people under my care. My love for people, families, and community gives me the motivation to always put my best foot forward. I have cared for children for over 10 years. I have worked with children of all ages and children who need more tailored care for their disabilities. For the past year, I have volunteered for WSU with P.L.A.N.E, which is a physical literacy and nutrition education program for children on the autism spectrum. I was responsible for teaching them fine motor skills through sports and healthy eating habits. I am very energetic! In my spare time, I enjoy learning new ways to incorporate a healthy lifestyle, going to concerts or streaming music, and spending time with my family and friends.
