FAQs for finding an in-home babysitter
What are in-home babysitters?
In-home babysitters are simply normal babysitters, but ones who specifically work in the home. Usually, families hire in-home babysitters to watch their children when they go on a date, help them with homework after school while the parents finish up work, or to have an extra set of hands around when juggling a busy home and family life.
What questions should I ask an in-home babysitter in an interview?
When interviewing an in-home babysitter, it can be helpful to have a list of interview questions ready to go. Not sure what questions to ask an in-home babysitter? You can ask them about their experience, what babysitter duties they feel comfortable handling, and what their past babysitting experiences are like. You can also request they provide you with references from past clients.
How much do in-home babysitters charge?
How much an in-home babysitter charges depends on a few different factors, such as their years of experience, where you live, how many children they will be watching, and what babysitter duties they’ll tackle. In-home babysitter rates start at $17.63, but again this price can vary. Which is why on Care.com, you can search for in-home babysitters that charge rates that fit your budget.
