Triangle Babysitting Rates
Select Sitters offers affordable rates and membership options to meet all your needs. We have flat rate babysitting for members and non-members for simplicity. Members receive guaranteed babysitting service (with 48 hour notice or we will give you a free hour). Rates listed are paid to the agency directly, not the babysitter. Clients are billed each Monday and must keep a credit card on file for ease of billing.
