Ok, I need a sitter.

I go to school full time and am working 32 hours/week. I don't want to burn my normal sitters out because they are all family and watch the girls out of the kindness of their hearts. I don't even know how much people charge but if you know anyone available to babysit on saturdays please let me know! I need someone 730am-930pm. TIA!

Re: Ok, I need a sitter.

  • Is that your schedule every Saturday? I think your best bet is to find someone to come to your house for the day. That is going to be to hard on the two little ones to be at someone's house that long.

    As for pay, it's hard to say. I think $75 for the day would be fair. (That is about $5 a hour)  To be super nice I would pay $100 if you can afford to do so. GL!

    Wow, that is a long day!  I have no suggestions in the Toledo area, but read what Kel posted and I wish we could find that pricing here. Kids here (and I'm talking 11yrs & up) charge $5/hr for 1 kid!  I remember when I used to get .50-1 per kid and my sister only paid me $2/hr for 3 kids.  Times sure have changed.
  • I pay $100 or so for long Saturdays to give you an idea. But I'm no help with you needing a sitter as I'm about to be in the same boat here in a few weeks with needing someone on Saturdays. :)

    I am going to try SitterCity this summer... I need to find someone to watch the kids while we're at weddings and I need to find someone who can possibly come stay at our house for 5 days or so in the beginning of September when we go to NC for my best friend's wedding. Have you thought about that site? You can get background checks and stuff.  

  • Thanks everyone. I didn't know that site existed Nichole! I've got this week covered by my Dad, bless his heart, but I think I'm going to try and rework my work hours. I hate the thought of being away from the kids an entire day.
