Average babysitting prices gone up to $30 an hour

You may remember the days of $10 to $15 an hour babysitting jobs, with all you can eat snacks thrown in as a bonus. Well things have changed dramatically, in February the app, Pay the Nanny, estimated the nationwide hourly rate is $29.40 and in Auckland it's just over $30. The maximum hourly rate was 50 dollars. Caresies, another app linking babysitters and families, estimates an average hourly rate of $30 to $35. Tanya Pease from the agency Auckland Babysitting explains why prices are on the up.
