2 babysitter questions
Yeah, it's been a few years since I was a sitter.
1-she will be here for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. How much to pay?
2-Do I feed her? 
It's 5:30-7/7:30

Re: 2 babysitter questions
Not sure how old the kids are or how many, but for our babysitter he's 17 and really only watches DS1 who' 4. DS2 I usually just put to bed. I always have the Costco frozen pizzas, or other stuff in the freezer I offer. I leave out a soda can and water bottles. He only drinks the water bottles and he knows where my candy drawer is. I always tell him to eat it bc I don't want DH too. 
He does usually have some chocolate bars, which is fine and usually with DS1.
Usually a little over $10 an hour for my one son who is obviously potty trained. I'd probably pay $25 for those times.
Again, I know other people do more, older sitters, younger kids, etc.

My sitter usually come later but I tell them there's snacks in the cabinets. Etc. I don't and probably wouldn't leave food. Maybe if they were feeding dc I would order pizza.
We pay 15 hr for my sitters. Junior and senior in HS.

Re: 2 babysitter questions
We pay $10/hr for 2 kids (5.5 and 4) and among our friends that is considered high, but I am the only one from NY. Our sitters are 14 and 15.
I would have food (pasta in the fridge, bread/cold cuts) for them to eat if they want, and plenty of snacks, but you don't need to make them anything special IMO.

When I sit I have full rein of food. I cook for the kids I care for so I eat with them. I'm offered to have whatever is there. I get paid $15-20 per hour.

For a daycare teacher, we paid $13/hour..it was in the mornings when I was PG and needed coverage so DH could come with me to dr. appts, but she brought her own breakfast..I let her know she could eat anything we had on hand, though..
