want to keep getting babysitters occasionally for Sat nights, but dh only pays $10/hour. i feel bad because i think it should be more money, but dh won't budget. What is the going rate? db goes down at 8pm, and sleeps through the night, so babysitter is just watching tv or reading books the whole time. we are back by 11pm. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

going rate is $12 unless it is a highschooler - which I would say $10. I am in the burbs by the way. Your dh sounds a little controlling. [ Reply | More ]

I disagree but I think 10 is pushing it. DH does sound controlling though. I pay 12 in NYC but I have 2 older easy kids. [ Reply | More ]

We're West Coast. Pay $15, unless it's a high schoooler. Rate doesn't change because the kids are sleeping. I always include dinner too and usually round up. We have no trouble retaining sitters. [ Reply | More ]
