    What is the going rate for babysitters?
    MY little sister is 16 and wants to earn some money for going on holidays this summer. She has good experience with my wee fella and is a very reliable quiet girl. How much could she expect to earn?
    LOl. And anyone around Grangebellew/Dunleer/ Clogherhead/Termonfeckin area need a reliable babysitter?

    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

    Yeah I could drop her over, no bother but she’d need a lift home. Ya know where we live. It’s usually 18 to 20 euro in a taxi either. But she would be up for that no bother. My number is 087-2797901 if anyone would like to meet her.

    Thanks
