Price of a Babysitter in Essex
| 1 Child (per hour) | Multiple Children (per hour) | With Tip (per hour) |
|---|---|---|
| $13.1 | $13.1 – $19.6 | $13.1 – $22.6 |
It costs about $13.1 per hour (for one child) to hire a babysitter in Essex, that’s about $0.36 less than the national average of $13.44 per hour. Additional children can cost up to 50% more per child that needs care but many sitters charge much less or nothing additional for two kids. A tip is not always necessary but always appreciated. 10 to 15 percent is common but again, not a requirement.
