Price of a Babysitter in Philadelphia
| 1 Child (per hour) | Multiple Children (per hour) | With Tip (per hour) |
|---|---|---|
| $14.9 | $14.9 – $22.3 | $14.9 – $25.7 |
It costs about $14.9 per hour (for one child) to hire a babysitter in Philadelphia, that’s about $1.45 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. A tip is not always necessary but always appreciated. 10 to 15 percent is common but again, not a requirement.
