how much to pay sitter?
A gal that works at the daycare is super duper awesome. She's been awesome since day one. She saw I was looking for someone to watch Amelie so she called and offered to help. She'll have Amelie while Owen and I go to the game tomorrow. How much should I pay this gal? She's probably 23 or so. She's got a 3 year old of her own. I'm taking her to her house. I'll be providing everything.
How much?
Re: how much to pay sitter?
If you are taking her there around 5 & picking her up around 10 (assuming you stay for the whole game), I would probably give her about $50. I would guess the baby goes to sleep around 7-8 & if she goes down for bed easily & stays asleep, about half the evening should be pretty easy babysitting. If she is hard to get to sleep or you think she won't stay asleep I would err on the higher side.
I tend toward over payment b/c I want my babysitters to be ever-available when I call them.
HTH, and have a great time at the game.

Is she doing it to make money or is she watching Amelie because she would be home anyway and wants snuggle time?
If she does this as a "side-job" I would do $8 or so an hour. Probably not more because you are taking baby to her house.
If she is doing it for fun, how about $25, or a gift card just to show you appreciate her.

Babysitter said $8.00 an hour and we pay her $10.00
