Baby sitter going rate

Just wondering what the going rate for a sitter is. My DS daycare head teacher will be sitting for us on Sat while we are at a family dinner. We are settling on a rate tomorrow and I want to be sure I'm in the ballpark.

She is older (around 35) and is his head teacher.

We were thinking between 13 and 15 per hour?

Wow $20 a hour! That is nuts. I have 2 kids and I pay $10 an hour. That is for feeding them dinner (which is already cooked), playing with them, and putting them to bed. I would expect a nanny to clean up the house, not a sitter.

$13-$15/hr sounds right, given that she's a head teacher, and therefore more qualified than a teenager. I think $10 is appropriate for a teenager or non-teacher.

Re: Baby sitter going rate

I've heard of friends paying $10 for 3 kids to $20 for 1 kid. It depends on the amt of hrs, # of kids, ages and what the person is expecting to be paid. Some people are obviously fine with $10.
