We've just arranged to go out on Saturday and DD will be being babysat by someone who isn't family. Never done this before so am a little nervous. Anyway, I have no idea what the "norm" rate is for babysitting. It's DD's godmother and good friend of mine and am 75% sure she'll prob refuse to accept any money but as this is the first step towards leaving DD with someone non-family, I'm going to need to know this soon anyway.
We'll be going out 7.30ish and prob be back 11 if that has any bearing on the matter
