Hello Ladies,
I am taking my daughter to be baby sat by one of her daycare teachers tonight and need to know what is a good rate to pay? She is almost 2 and will be at the sitters house from 7pm to about 1am. Please let me know what you think is a fair pay for this.
Keep in mind that person watching children full time and for her to watch them on the side she should be paid more.
Plus she has to stay up till you come at 1am.
So, I would pay her 25.00 and 30.00 if you want to be extra nice.
E.,
I always ask the sitter how much she charges for that amount of time. If it sounds really low, I'll throw in more. Teenagers are about 5.50, young adults about 6.50 so experienced adults would probably run about 7 or 8 I'd think.

I use to do this and I would charge the parents $15 an hr but I was in Atalanta, GA which was fair in that area. Now for this area I think $10 an hr is fair. Because it is after daycare hrs and you have to think of how far does she have to travel to your home.
I'd say around the $8/hr range, and $9-10/hr after midnight.
