Price of a Babysitter in Seattle
1 Child (per hour) | Multiple Children (per hour) | With Tip (per hour) |
---|---|---|
$19.2 | $19.2 – $28.8 | $19.2 – $33.1 |
It costs about $19.2 per hour (for one child) to hire a babysitter in Seattle, that’s about $5.75 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.
