What to pay our sitter?

Tomorrow Dh and I have a baby shower to go to and we have a sitter for the first time (that isn't family).  She is actually DD's teacher from school.  We asked how much an hour and she said whatever we think is fair.  Is $10 enough?  I have no idea. 

ETA:  she will be here from 1-5ish and I doubt DD will nap at all during that time.

Re: What to pay our sitter?

  • We paid about $12/hr - two kids for the four hours we were gone the one time we have had a sitter. We so need to do that again...
  • My sitter charges me 8 but $10 to everyone else. She was my Capt this past year.

  • Teenage sitter we pay $8
    College sitter we pay $10
    Adult sitter we pay $12-14

    we always tip a little too...  Babysitter are expensive!

  • We pay $10, but always round up (if we get home at 5 minutes after the hour, we pay the full $10 for that hour). We have had the same sitter for 4 years - one of DS's teachers from MDO.
