How much would you pay a babysitter for these times?

Question

ok, babysitter is 17. first night: 3 kids ages 6, 4, and 3. she makes dinner, helps them clean their rooms, bathes them, and puts them to bed. afterwards, she cleans up the bathroom and cleans the kitchen/living room. total hours: 5. 2nd night, same as above, hours: 4.5. and then 3rd time. she keeps just the 6 yo from 5 on sunday night until 3:30 monday afternoon.

for all 3 times, how much would you pay?

Answer 1

Wow, she seems to help out a lot not only with the kids and the house.  I would definitely give her at least $100 - $150.

Answer 2

AT LEAST $150

Answer 3

She hasn't given you a rate?  Well, it would all be based on opinion and what you can afford.  

But taking into account that it was 3 kids for 10 hours (including cooking/bathing/cleaning) I'd think you'd want to pay her anywhere from $15 to $20 an hour (something around $5/kid).  As for keeping the six year old over night I'd say something in the $50 range give or take would be fair.  

Total = $200 - $250

Answer 4

75$ to 100$ got it good
