Affordable for parents, lucrative for babysitters
Pricing for parents
Parents can create an account and start looking for a babysitter for free. To connect with childcare providers, parents need to subscribe to a premium account. The monthly subscription allows parents to send messages and plan appointments. As a parent, you upgrade when you’re ready to contact.

Pricing for babysitters
Babysitters can create an account, search for babysitting jobs, and contact parents completely free of charge. If you want to enjoy extra security we recommend using the appointment planner to schedule appointments and receive payments. A platform fee of 6% (introduction price) is applied on payouts received via Babysits. Payments for Babysits appointments will be available for payout 2 days after the appointment.
Hourly rates for babysitting
Parents and childcare providers indicate their expected hourly rates to other community members via their profile. However, this is not a fixed rate and you are always able to negotiate. Once you have come to an agreement, you can use the appointment planner to schedule your Babysits appointment.
Appointments and paying babysitters
Planning appointments and paying through Babysits is simple, safe and highly recommended. Here's how:
Simple & effective
When you communicate and plan appointments through Babysits, you have the peace of mind of our built-in security features. Plus, it's easy to use. You can contact babysitters, plan appointments and schedule Meet & Greets.
Safe & secure payments
We use a secure payment system that never shares any of your credit card or bank account details with other users. Paying through Babysits is cashless, convenient, and keeps your personal details safe and secure.
Automatic payouts
After successfully completing the babysitting appointment, we will automatically initiate a payout the next day. Payouts usually take 2-5 business days. For babysitters a 6% platform fee (introduction price) applies to payments received via Babysits.
Right of Withdrawal
As a parent, you have the right to withdraw from the premium subscription within 14 days, provided you haven't used Babysits. To withdraw from the subscription, you need to notify us of your decision to withdraw from the agreement through the submission of an unequivocal statement (e.g. sending a written request of withdrawal by post or email). You can request a withdrawal through the Babysits customer service or use the form provided in the terms and conditions, but are not obliged to do so.
