baby-sitting rates....

A and I are going to a wedding for one of my bosses in a few weeks, and was looking for a sitter between 5-12am.  A few people offered - a friend of mine from work who watched her last year for a wedding (has no kids of her own) and her favorite teacher's aide  from daycare also offered.  I'm kind of torn - I think I would prefer her teacher watching her because I know that she can handle her and that she loves her.  The girl would be coming from Pine Bush to Newburgh (about a 35 minute drive).  What do you think I should pay her for the 7 hours?? I don't want to offend her by offering her something low but have never had to pay a baby sitter before!  K will be 22 months (if that matters to people) and would include dinner and bed-time.

TIA

Re: baby-sitting rates....

  • We pay our sitter $10/hr. R is 3 and C is 9 months, plus she has B (who is almost 13) to help her out. 
  • I would ask her what she makes when she babysits. I was making $15 an hour in 2002 babysitting so I'm not sure how much things have changed? I believe my sister pays $12 or so.

  • I get 100$/8 hours and drive almost 40 minutes for babysitting, flat rate for my friends kids.

    I usually pay 10 an hour for Jack.

  • I paid $10 an hr for 4hrs but gave an extra $10 because the sitter drove 30 min and had to go through a toll.
