Re: Babysitter, Whats the going rate?

I would ask the girl's mother what she thinks is a reasonable amount for her daughter to be paid.

I would also be very strict about how many 'visitors' this lass can have whilst she is in your house. My mate had a regular babysitting job when we were teenagers and always had a houseful of mates some of whom used to bring beer and fags. My mate came across as mature and sensible and looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, so no matter how innocent your babysitter appears to be, lay the groundrules......
