If you want another reason why residents of New York City have one of the highest costs of living in the U.S., compare babysitting(當臨時保姆) wages with those of people who live in Colorado. According to UrbanSitter’s 2014 Childcare Rate Survey of nine large city areas,the average babysitting wage paid in New York City is $15. 34 per hour while in Denver it's $10. 84 per hour.
Lauren Jimeson from New York City pays her babysitters about $20 an hour. She has three children aged 4 , 3 and an infant(嬰兒)， but she usually does not ask a babysitter to watch all three at the same time.
Jimeson said she was surprised at how low the rates can be in another city during a recent family trip to Florida. aThey found a babysitter based on a friend's recommendation. They only paid around $8 or $10 per hour. My husband and I looked at each other and said ‘Oh,my gosh’ because we pay double that for our kids,” Jimeson said.
Lyz Lenz,blogger (博主) and write behind LyzLenz.com,said she pays her babysitters S8 to $10 an hour in Iowa. Lenz,31, has two children. One is 3 years old and the other is 10 months old. “It's pretty ridiculous since they are in the 9th and 10th grade and not
professionals,” Lenz said of the babysitters. “But we pay the going rate,and more for the babysitters we love,to keep them coming to us. When I was in high school I got paid just $5 an hour for three kids.”
