How much to pay teen babysitter?

Question

How much should I pay a teen baby sitter who comes in the home occasionally an hour for 2 children ages 2 and 4? Thanks!

Answer 1

$5..plenty for only an hour

Answer 2

$5-6

Answer 3

If she sits for more then 3 hours then pay 10 dollars an hour. If she only sits for 1- 2 hours then pay her 7 dollars and hour

Answer 4

Around $8.00 But if you want to get technical, you got to figure out how much taxes your taking out from her pay, not to mention the use of your facility which brings it down to  $6.10 depending on what state your in ( it could be more or less) and based on her experience. Dont forget to ask her on " why does she want this position? What makes her better than any other babysitters? and why should you pay her more than granted?

Answer 5

well for each hour she babysits maybe $7. it sounds good to me.... but i this is just a guess.

Answer 6

Are you home with them?

-If you are, and you are helping the sitter out, $5.

-If you are, but you're not helping or anything, $7.

If you're not home, pay her $8-10 an hour. The usual rate is $8/hour, but you should just round it to ten (add a tip).

Answer 7

well if its usually an hour I say 20 dollars to a great payment of 30 if its just an hour but if its for a minumum of 3 hours 10 dollars per hour\

20dollars might be pushing it though maybe 15

Answer 8

i have been babysitting for a long time and i usually go by 4-5$ and hour per child and then if it goes after mid-night 5-6$ an hour mid-night hours. so say the babysitter babysat from 7-10 so thats 24$. It also depends on how old the babysitter is if they are younger you don't havee to pay them as much because they are less experienced

Answer 9

more than minimum wage...1&1/2 maybe because the two kids. So if you were in california min wage is $8 so 1.5 times that is $12 per hour and throw in some more if she went above and beyond...like a bonus. Watching your kids is a special job!
