More in the cities than in rural MN... I think here in rural Mn 5 dollars an hour is okay. I'm not sure about the cities; I lived there for nine years but didnt have kids yet!
I am a teacher and I babysit on the side for some extra cash - I live in the lake Mtka area - I charge 12 for one child plus a dollar for each child per hour.
