Babysitter- how much

How much should I pay a sitter? One day a week she will be with my kids 9 hours but with my mom helping. The other days she maybe here 2-2.5 hrs- not every day of the week though. I have twins how much an hour is fair?

We pay ours $15 an hour for two kids. I've heard of friends paying anywhere between 12-20.

We pay $12 an hour for two 6 year olds and a 4 year old. But she does not come weekly and I often over pay her so it's really about $15 an hour. I think $12 an hr is fair especially if your mom is helping.

Around $20/hour especially for shorter hours.

Depends on how much your mom is doing. If you got a mother's helper... you can pay less... but if you got someone good and want to keep them, especially with shorter hours (and thus, less take home pay)... unless it is someone who is doing you a favor... I'd err on the high side.
