- A $40 deposit per appointment, per sitter, is charged to your credit card in advance. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
- At the end of each appointment, the sitter calculates the total charge based on the babysitting time and number of children. There is a 4 hour minimum charge for each appointment. The sitter deducts the pre-paid deposit and you pay the sitter the balance due.
- Stated rates include an automatic 5% discount for paying the sitter the balance due in cash or U.S. check made payable to the sitter. If you prefer, you may charge the balance to the same credit card provided for the deposit, losing the 5% cash/check discount.
- The client is responsible for any additional expenses, such as fee activities, children’s meals and sitter parking. Please provide your sitter with adequate funds to cover activities and meals. Sitters must be able to park at or reasonably close to the appointment location. Discuss parking options with your sitter in advance. Many properties will allow a sitter to park on-site at no charge, if requested by the guest.
- Rates increase 50% on July 4, Thanksgiving, December 24, December 25, December 31 before 5:00pm and January 1. Rates double on December 31 starting at 5:00pm and continuing to the end of the appointment. Advance bookings are strongly recommended for all holiday appointments.
- Gratuities are at the discretion of the client, but most clients choose to tip. Tips go exclusively to the sitter and are greatly appreciated. Most clients who tip do so in the typical service range of 10%-20%.
