What's the going rate for teenaged babysitters? Just had #2 and neighbor's 14 year old is coming over and playing with my toddler (while I'm home) to help me out. She has no experience or anything and not, like, leaving her alone with him or having her bathe or change his diaper. Just push him on a swing while I cook dinner, etc. What think?

Wow, how old are you? When I babysat it was like $5/hour. When I was in college and did overnights for people I got $10/hour. But I'm in my mid-30s. [ Reply | More ]
