Babysitting rates, what do you pay?

Hi,
I ws just wondering what the going rate is for babysitters. We pay £8 ph (and I usually round up) but I noticed a post for a babysitter charging £10 ph. Would hate to think that we are underpaying our babysitters! What does everyone else pay? Thanks

our babysittter asks for 8/h but usually end up giving 10/h so something around that is fine especially if you are rounding up. pays to keep them sweet i reckon so they'll be more inclined to help you out last minute etc.

Our sitter asked for 8-10 per hour so we give her 10. My dd adores her so I think it's worth it. And also she comes over from New Cross so I think it's only fair she gets more.

We pay our babysitter £8/hour plus a taxi home. Our old nanny now charges £10/hour, which I don't think is unusual, but certainly pushes up the price of an evening out....

Yes, we also pay for their taxi home so all in all does add a fair bit to the cost of the night out. Thank you all for replying, much appreciated
