$10/hour. College age student(s).

It's just easier to compute at the end of the night for me. I always round to the next half hour, so if I get home at 11:10 pm, I pay until 11:30 pm.

The two girls I have used were happy with our arrangement.

Re: How much per hour do you pay a babysitter?

Depends on how many children and their ages.

FOr my 6, 4, and 2 year old, we pay the babysitter (she is 16), $5 per hour per kid, so $15 an hour. However, if my 2 year old is sleeping before we leave, then she gets $12 an hour, that was HER suggestion to us.

Re: How much per hour do you pay a babysitter?

I pay my evening sitter $15 an hour.

Most of them were looking in the 10 - 15 range.

If you go on sittercity.com you can probably get some ranges.
