We moved here a few months ago and have yet to have a date night. We used family back in Utah so this is the first time paying sitters. Wondering what the going rate is. We found some greAt girls at our church that are in the 14-16 year old range. Do you pay per kid? And what rate? Thanks
Re: How much to pay 14-16 year old babysitter?
I live in Hastings and our neighbor girls are 15 and 17. I asked them what they got paid in the past and on average is was $5/hr. I usually round up and add extra if they have to feed DD and/or put her to bed.
I'm due next week with #2. Until LO is at least a year we will ask both of them to come over and pay $10/hr. After that it will depend on my kids and if the younger one feels comfortable on her own.
DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.
