Understanding Rates & Availability
Transparency is important to me. Here you’ll find everything you need to know about my babysitting rates, school pick-up and drop-off services, and availability.
Babysitting rates are based on the youngest child in my care, the age of the children, and the total number of children being cared for.
Bookings that involve both babysitting & school pick up/drop off, is calculated by the hourly babysitting rates. If a booking exceeds 5hrs then the booking will be calculated based on a flat rate.
School pick-up and drop-off services only (no babysitting) are offered at set flat rates.
Please take a moment to review the information before making a booking. If you have any questions or are unsure which rate applies to your booking, please feel free to contact me.
Minimum 2hr babysitting booking (babysitting only or school runs)
Minimum 1hr school pick up/drop off only booking
