So lots of speeders have kids… What are you paying your babysitters? Usually we trade work at my mom’s place for occasional sitting but today I’m hiring a friends daughter. Middle school kid, has her babysitting cert and first aid training. 1pm to 6pm, no cooking needed, and watching my 5 year old.
Log on to care.com and see what the local rate looks like.
Edit: I just used this and got $8.50. That seems real low. I was expecting $10-$15.

My daughter babysits occasionally and usually gets $10/hr sometimes more depending on what she has to do.
My wife will get $12-15 per hour, has many certs and a degree in early childhood ed, so I would say that for a middle school kid, 8-10 is pretty good.
$10. It’s like halfway between being too cheap and getting your teeth taken out.
If she does a good job, increase it gradually. Can’t pay too much for talented young girls.
I see what you did there.
If I was in middle school I would ECSTATIC to have a $10/hour job
I may start babysitting.
i would base it on how good a time you have while out.
With all the unemployed teachers, I would think the market is flooded with cheap babysitters.
all i have to contribute is that i thought this said “WNY babysitters revenge rape.” WTF.
Went with $9 an hour because she had zero experience, it was only 1 kid and required no cook or cleaning. The next day her dad said pay her 6 or 7 next time. lol
haha nice
He also yelled at me because she is now asking for “a crazy movie setup like Jason has”.
add babysitting to Mr. T’s job suggestion thread? lol
ouch
all he said is he wanted $10/hr lol.
I thought ppl were getting like 2 or 3 an hour, thats why baby sitters usually sit 4 or so kids at a time. 10 and hour per kid is out of control. For a kid watching for a few hours if you tossed her 20 bucks im sure she would have been happy as shit.
30 a day is what my gfs sister gets per kid if they have 2 kids its less per kid.
