Unsure what to spend on holiday tips this season? Park Slope Parents just released the results from their 2014 survey, providing a Brooklyn average for tips to people like supers, doormen, babysitters, dog walkers, and more.

The results, based on 400 responses from neighbors in the community, show that most people will be tipping the same amounts they did last year. Other items of note are that people are tipping their dog walkers more than their building doormen on average, and that about a quarter of the respondents give homemade treats like cookies rather than cash.

Here’s just a sample of the average tips people plan to give:

  • House cleaner: $94
  • Superintendent: $104
  • K-12 teacher: $42
  • Dog walker: $83
