Weekend Babysitter rates?

How much do you pay for a babysitter that you may use occassionally on the weekends? Also, do you pay extra if you plan to go out between 10pm-12:30am?

TIA

ETA no I don't pay extra for evening hours.

Re: Weekend Babysitter rates?

i pay my babysitter who is in her early-mid 20's, a college student, and majoring in early childhood development $10 an hour..but, she usually comes after Melania is sleeping, and never sees her at all..only because Mila goes to bed at 7, and i can never get my aZZ ready and out the door before 9..
she usually stays from 9-12 or so..we dont do much now that im preggo again..

Depends on experience.
