What Affects the Cost of a Babysitter in London?

Several factors go into how we price each booking:

Number and ages of children

Caring for a newborn or toddler requires different skills and attention than caring for older children. The number of children in your care also affects the rate.

Hours required

Whether you need a sitter for two hours or two days, pricing is based on the duration of your booking. Minimum booking durations apply.

Time of day

Evening and overnight bookings, as well as very early morning care (for families with early flights), are priced differently to daytime bookings.

Lead time

We can often accommodate last-minute requests, but advance bookings allow us more time to match you with the ideal sitter and may be priced accordingly.

Nature of the request

A standard babysitting booking differs from a specialist request — such as a nanny for a full day, a bilingual sitter, care for a child with additional needs, or a travel nanny accompanying your family.

Seasonality

London is busiest during school holidays, the summer months, and key events. Availability and pricing reflect demand during peak periods.

What's Included in Every Booking

Regardless of the rate, every Stays booking includes:
