I’ve a 19 year old babysitter and I pay her 10 an hour to mind my two under threes. They are in bed when she arrives (usually). She is never here later than 11pm and max two hours at a time. I always arrange for getting her home. It is a more than most pay, I gather, but she is on year two of a childcare course, came highly recommended by friends, comes at short notice & is pleasant and reliable and mature. And I want her to want to help me out!
When she started for me (year and half ago) she said 5 or 6 an hour was what she normally got, but that it depended and she’d take what she got.
So, I’d say for a 16 year old… – E5 an hour if no more than three kids, in bed and parents home by midnight. And they bring her home to her door!!! More cash if kids up or a baby. Hope some help
