Babysitter pay?

So a real kid related question from me.. imagine that.

What's the going rate for a teenager who will be supervising a playdate between C and her little brother (virtually the same age)???

Re: Babysitter pay?

  • IDK. $10 an hour? I'm not really any help as I always leave M with my mom. And by always I mean the 6 or so times DH and I have been out without him in his whole 2.3 years.

  • Depends. I pay T and my neice (who is 11) $4/hour if they are being mother's helpers - so I'm there, but they are watching lo. I pay L $7 for babysitting. Otherwise I pay minimum wage, so $9.
  • Babysitting rates are regional.  In Milwaukee, 2.50 per hour per child, so if you wanted to down to $4 while you are there, I think that's OK.

  • Got my own answer tonight at my Mom's Night Out group.   $5 per hour for one kid... a couple bucks more for additionals.

    Thanks tho.

  • Depends on you area. $10 per hour for a teenager sounds about right.

  • We generally pay $8-$12 (teenager for my nearly 2 year old verses the higher number for an infant certified, background checked adult from her daycare when she was younger)
