Payment

How much should I pay my child care provider?

Set an hourly rate when posting your job. Providers will decide whether or not to apply largely based on the rate you set.  We recommend setting higher hourly rates for holiday jobs and jobs posted with short-notice.

 

How do I pay my child care provider?

Within 24 hours after  each job, your provider will request payment for your job. You will have 24 hours to complete payment or dispute your provider's request.  SitterTree will charge your card on file to securely complete payment to your provider(s). If you don't complete payment or dispute the reuest within 24 hours, SitterTree will automatically close your job and charge your card according to your provider's request.  If you dispute the request, we will wait until a resolution has been reached before completing payment.

 

How do I tip my child care provider?

Providers receive tips from the majority of jobs on the SitterTree app. Some round up, others use a percentage, while some don't tip at all.  It's up to you! To tip your providers, visit your Past Jobs and click Add Tip.
