We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express for reservation and service fees. Wages and gratuity are paid directly to babysitters, see Meet Our Team for individual hourly rates ($12-15/hour). Additionally,
- All reservations have a 3 hour minimum and are charged in quarter hour increments (paid to sitter).
- A small transportation fee may be required for sitters who live > 20 miles from your home (paid to sitter).
- Mileage ($0.50 per mile) may be required if you request that the sitter(s) transport your children (paid to sitter).
- Sleep hours are typically paid at 50% of regular hourly rates (negotiate with sitter for overnight stays).
- Sitters must be paid with cash or a personal check upon completion of the sitting job. If the sitter is unable to deposit funds within 24 hours for any reason, Savvy Sitters charges clients the wages earned and passes payment along to the sitter. A $20 service fee applies in these cases.
