Hello ladies. I've been around for a while but rarely post because I can't bump at work and it's a pain in my phone. So long time lurker who rarely posts here.
I am curious about the going rates for babysitters. I'm going to have my coworker's thirteen year old daughter watch LO for a couple hours while I am home but cleaning, doing chores, etc. They will just play in the den. How much should I offer to pay her?
Thanks in advance.

$20 sounds reasonable for a 13y/o for 2 hours...just wasn't sure if being home also meant less pay and if that mattered

I don't know if it matters that I will be home so I was just throwing that fact out there.
I guess the difference between being home and not are that I will change diapers and be there if she needs me. The babysitter wants to get more experience with kids so she can actually babysit and I'm thrilled to have a couple hours to get stuff done. Bonus is that LO will have a blast.
Thanks for all the input
