Paying a babysitter
What do you consider to be a fair price to pay someone hourly to watch your child?

Re: Paying a babysitter
We pay $10/hr for one baby (she's almost a year now). She's asleep for most of it but I don't mind paying for the peace of mind (it's my Mom's friend that we use).

Re: Paying a babysitter
$15/hr seems pretty standard.

Re: Paying a babysitter
We have a sitter we use at least 2X a month when DH & I go out and we pay her between $12-$15 an hour.
If we are going to dinner with friends & she comes at night, she is basically watching DS sleep, we lean towards $12, if she comes earlier feeds him dinner, plays for a few hours, we give her $15.

Re: Paying a babysitter
$10-12/hr for 2 kids (ages 3 and 5). We always round up so it works out to be an average of $13-15 per hour.

Re: Paying a babysitter
We pay ours $8 an hour, but we tip her well so it probably works out to $12 an hour.
