About this template

A weekly babysitter schedule keeps the family and the sitter on the same page about when, and gets the pay right without awkward end-of-week math. Set the **base hourly rate** once, then fill the **day-by-day grid** — hours per day, with an optional **per-day rate override** for premium times (a late date-night, a holiday) and a quick note for what's happening. The form multiplies hours × rate per day and totals the **weekly hours and pay**, so both sides agree on the number before payday. Add the **duties/notes** — meals, homework, bedtime, screen rules, where the emergency contacts are — so expectations are clear, and a confirmation line for both. One thing worth knowing: if a household worker earns over the IRS annual threshold, they may be a **household employee** (the "nanny tax" — Social Security/Medicare withholding and a W-2), though occasional teen babysitters are generally exempt; check your situation. This worksheet handles the scheduling and pay; for an ongoing arrangement with set duties and terms, pair it with a sitter or nanny agreement.

When to use it

  • Planning a babysitter's hours for the week.
  • Calculating weekly pay (hours × rate, with premium days).
  • Communicating duties, bedtime, and house rules.
  • Confirming the schedule between parent and sitter.

What to include

  • Family, sitter, week-of, and children.

Frequently asked

Each day is hours × rate (the base hourly rate, or a per-day override for premium times like a late night), and the form sums the days into total hours and total pay. Enter days as "day | hours | rate(optional) | notes".
