An overnight babysitter is a sitter who stays at the house with the children overnight while they sleep. The family member or members responsible for the children may return very late at night, the next morning, or even a day or two later. Even if the babysitter is asleep, they’re technically on the clock and are responsible for the children until their adult family members return.
Not sure how much to pay an overnight babysitter? Overnight babysitting rates start at $20.45, but the exact cost of hiring a babysitter to stay overnight can vary based on each sitter’s years of experience and qualifications.
Overnight babysitters on Care.com complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Babysitters who complete this background check have a badge on their profile displaying the date it was run. We do strongly recommend that you take additional steps to hire an overnight babysitter safely, such as interviewing candidates, checking references, and running your own background check.
