what is the going rate for a 16 yr old babysitter?

[greedyforbabies]

using a babysitter tonight for the first time and i wondered what the going rate was? i live in the south east

As a C/M I charge £3.50 per hour per child so definately less than that. The sitter is not qualified or trained. Depending on hours spent there and what they have to do I would say £15 - £20. But then I am in Bolton, North West so we are all cheap up here!!

depends where you are, I would have though £5 an hour (bear in mind there maybe more than one child sue)

I pay £20 for around 4 hours. I'm in Surrey.
