About this template
A babysitter pay stub is a simple, friendly record of what was worked and what was paid — useful for both sides even when the arrangement is casual. The math is the part worth getting right: list each session with its date and hours, multiply total hours by the hourly rate for wages, add any agreed extras (a holiday bonus, mileage, or reimbursed activity costs), and show a clear total paid. Keeping dated sessions rather than a single lump sum makes the stub easy to check and avoids the most common babysitting friction — disagreement about how many hours were actually worked. A few practical notes. Agree the **rate** and what counts as **extras** up front (does driving the kids or buying dinner get reimbursed?), and record the **payment method** so there is a trail. For most casual or teen babysitting this is just a courtesy record. However, if you employ a sitter or nanny regularly and pay above the IRS household-employment threshold for the year, you may have "nanny tax" obligations (Social Security/Medicare, and possibly federal unemployment) and should look at IRS Publication 926 — this template is a pay record, not payroll, and does not calculate or withhold taxes. Keep a copy for your records; sitters can use a stack of these to track earnings across families.
