| My wife and I normally have high school age babysitters and pay them in the $7-8 range.
This time we will have a 24 year old 5th grade teacher watching our child for about 4 hours. 2 of those hours the child will be sleeping. What do you think a fair rate would be for us to pay this more experienced babysitter? $10/hour??? Thanks |

| For one child, I pay $5 an hour to high schoolers. College age kids are asking me for $10, so I only use them if there are no high school age kids available LOL $10 is more than fair for low-maintenance babysitting like you're talking about (1 child only, child will be put to bed for half that time, etc). |
