Terms of Use
Effective October 1, 2026
1. The agreement
By using the website at sitterrate.com (the “site”) or downloading or using SitterRate: Babysitter Pay (the “app”), you agree to these terms. The app is also licensed to you under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which applies to the app; if the two conflict, Apple’s agreement controls for the app.
2. What the site and app are, and are not
They are calculators and reference tools. They help you estimate babysitting rates, calculate what is owed for a session, estimate nanny gross pay and, in the app, keep a simple history. The site’s guides summarize published sources and link to them.
They are not a payroll, tax, employment or legal service. They do not calculate taxes or withholding, determine worker classification, or tell you what the law requires you to pay in your situation. They are not a marketplace, do not process payments, and are not affiliated with UrbanSitter, Sittercity, Care.com or the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
3. Rate benchmarks, guides and results
Rate benchmarks are published reference figures, shown with their sources and dates. They are estimates, not a required, minimum or legally correct wage, and actual rates vary. Summaries of laws and tax rules are general information as of the date shown and may not apply to your situation. Calculations depend on the information you enter; please check the result before paying or relying on it.
4. Pro purchase
Pro is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase sold through Apple. Apple handles payment, refunds and Family Sharing. You can restore Pro on your devices from Settings or the purchase screen. If a purchase is refunded or revoked, Pro features stop working, but your saved records remain available.
5. No warranty
The site and the app are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that they or their data will be error-free, current or suitable for a particular purpose.
6. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any amount paid or not paid based on the site’s or the app’s results. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the app.
7. Changes
We may update these terms. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
