babysitting - what's the going rate?

[gingerwench]

What's the going hourly rate for babysitting (night time) DS should be sound asleep for the duration. DH and I want to go out for a couple of unencumbered hours for the first time since he was born a year ago! We are going to ask if any of the staff at the nursery will do it.

I think usually if its someone from a nursery it will be at least £5.50 to £6.00 per hour.

Cheaper long term solution is set up your own babysitting circle on www.mynightoff.com.

Enjoy your night out.

thanks!
