is £3.50 an hour a reasonable rate for a friends daughter to babysit?

[MrsS01]

is it? £3.50 an hour reasonable. Thanks.

depends, id give a fixed sum for the whole time your away not by the hour if you do have to pay! depends really! id give a bit more myself! dont you have anyone to babysit that does it out of kindness!

It sounds a bit low really.

Depends on how old she is. I'd do a fixed sum, myself.

round these parts its £5.

That sounds very low tbh

Round here its about £5 an hour

Actually, last time my friends used a baby sitter for a saturday night, from 7.30 til midnight, it was £30.

I think she said if they were later than midnight it would have been an extra £10 for every hour.

My daughter is 15 (almost 16) and has done a babysitting and first aid course, she charges £5p/h which I think is ok. £3.50 is a bit low

really? ok, thanks x
