Offer babysitting →Before you hire: what to ask
- How old are the children you usually watch, and how many at once?
- Are you CPR and first-aid trained?
- Can I talk to a family you sit for?
- How do you handle bedtime, screens and food?
Offering babysitting? Put this in your post
- Say your age range, experience and whether you have CPR or first-aid training.
- List the days and times you are usually free.
- Give your hourly rate, and whether it changes with more children.
The rule in Utah. Utah generally does not license babysitting: under Utah Administrative Code R430-8, care in the sitter's own home needs no license when it is for fewer than five unrelated children at a time or for less than four hours a day, and sporadic care is not licensed at all. Our babysitting guide explains the exemptions.
What to know in Utah Valley
- A sitter who comes to your home is outside Utah's child care licensing entirely, so no agency has checked them.
- Relatives caring only for related children never need a license in Utah, however many children or hours.
- Rates vary too much for one number; ask two or three local families what they pay and agree before the first night.
