The average hourly rate for a babysitter nationally is $20.57 for one child and $23.25 for two kids.
Perkins told TODAY that although rates have gone up over the years, so has the creativity of parents who have found ways to minimize babysitting costs.
Some parents have arranged to double-up with friends so they could leave both sets of kids at one house and the split the cost of the sitter at the end of the night. "I don't actually know if the parents end up going to the same restaurant as each other, or if they're just sharing a sitter," Perkins said."But for kids who are a little bit older, this ends up being kind of fun for them because they're with a friend, and the babysitter."If you're going out on a date, consider doing so on a weeknight. Many sitters are willing to accept a lower hourly rate if it's not on a Friday or Saturday evening.
The less work the sitters have to do, the less you have to pay them. Some sitters will agree to a lower rate if the kids are fed, bathed and in their PJs by the time they arrive. When hiring adults who have young children of their own, consider allowing them to bring their child with them to the job. “This is a great way to get a lower rate,” Perkins said.
