I would charge for 2 kids under 2…around $15.00 hr for both not separate. Their still in diapers and need a lot of supervision

I agree. $15 would be a reasonable amount. Anywhere up to about $20

I agree, somewhere around $15/hour combined for both, if you have experience and good references. I just babysat for twins who will be one next week and I am only getting paid $9/hour, which is way undercharged. They are good friends and I’m only babysitting a few times over winter break, so I’m cutting them a deal. I have a lot of experience with infants, so if I were to take on a new babysitting client that had two babies around one year old, I would probably charge at least $15/hour. Sittercity.com has a rate calculator that shows what an appropriate rate would be based on location, experience, number of children, and age.
$14-20 an hour
