Babysitting rate Oxford

[Wigeon]

How much would you pay a 17 year old babysitter for one evening (7pm to 11pm)? Am staying in Oxford tomorrow night with relatives and have never actually used a babysitter we've had to pay for (have always used friends and relatives), so no idea about rates!

Thanks!

Let me know what you ended up paying? We were told about £7 an hour was usual, but tbh at that rate we can't afford to go out! As I pay my childminder £4 an hour in the day, much more than that for an evening seems daft.

Thanks for your replies! I was thinking maybe twenty quid?
