r/Babysitting↗

Babysitter Subreddit

This is a place for babysitters, nannies, and the parents who hire them to ask questions, get rate advice, and to just have a space to come talk about caregiving for children in a positive, respectful manner. This is a progressive, pro-worker's rights sub, and we are staunchly PRO-babysitter. All discussion/comments need to be supportive of childcare professionals, including discussions of pay, duties, and hiring practices.
