Price of a Babysitter in Iowa City
1 Child (per hour) | Multiple Children (per hour) | With Tip (per hour) |
---|---|---|

It costs about $13.6 per hour (for one child) to hire a babysitter in Iowa City, that’s about $0.12 more 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.
