How much should I be giving a young lady (18 years old) who is going to do a spot of babysitting for us?
We have just one 18 month old son who will already be in bed. She's going to make her own way to our house but my husband or I will take her home. Also, if she looked after DS for a few hours during the day while I got some christmas shopping done, would it be the same rate or would I pay her more?
She's been recommend to me by one of the ladies who helps out at our local Mother and Toddler group and I have spoken to another lady who she has childminded for, unpaid though (single mum, friend of the family) and got a verbal reference from the school that she is currently taking her A levels at. My DS and I met her this afternoon and I think she's lovely but have I checked her out enough?
