Babysitter $$ question

I hope to ask a friends daughter, 15, to watch DD 2x a week so DH can get some sleep (he works overnights).

How much should I pay?

DD is 1.
It would be from 10am-2pm or 3pm.

She would be responsible for giving her lunch. DD may take a short nap between 10 and 11, but there is never a guarantee.

DH will be in the house, but asleep.

I was thinking $40 a day. Plus providing lunch and soda, snacks, etc.

Any thoughts?
TIA!

I pay my Nanny $10/hour, so I think as a 15 year old, she would be VERY happy to make that!

Re: Babysitter $$ question

It's only $10 an hour if it's 4 hours. If it's 5 hours it's $8. It will vary depending on how long DH sleeps.

Thanks!
