Pricing factors

What affects the cost

👶

Number of children

Watching multiple children typically costs more per hour than caring for one child.

⏱️

Duration

Short hourly bookings cost less overall than full-day or overnight arrangements, which often have a better effective rate.

🍼

Age & needs

Infant care or children with specific needs may require more attentive (and sometimes costlier) care.

📚

Added responsibilities

Homework help, meal prep, or school pickup can add to the scope and cost compared to basic supervision.

📍

Location

Rates run a bit higher in Metro Manila than in provincial areas, mostly due to cost of living.

FAQ

Common questions about babysitting rates

01

How much should I pay a babysitter per hour in the Philippines?

Hourly rates typically range from ₱80–₱150 for one child, with rates increasing for multiple children or added responsibilities like homework help.

02

Is overnight babysitting more expensive?

Yes, overnight care is usually priced higher (₱1,200–₱2,000) since it requires a longer commitment and bedtime/morning routine support. This should always be agreed upon in advance.

03

Does the babysitter handle meals and homework?

Basic meal/snack assistance and light homework supervision are commonly included, but confirm the exact scope with the worker in chat before booking — especially for specialized needs.

04

Can I negotiate the rate with the babysitter?

Yes — price is agreed directly with the worker in chat, so there's room to discuss the number of children, hours, or added responsibilities that affect the rate before you confirm.
