Can anyone give me an idea of the usual rate for a babysitter?
Someone was advertising for a weekend sitter from 7am-3pm Sat and Sun. while she works. When I looked it into to it further she indicated she would pay $60.
She was also expecting toys to be cleaned up and dishes done. I could see doing up dishes for the child and that might have been what she meant but to do dishes for the family plus babysit a 3 yr old- it would seem to me $60 is a bit low.
So what do you charge or pay for 8 hrs of care...if you have someone come in what do you expect?
