Professional rate for babysitting

[sarack]

What would u pay someone to care for your 3 year old and 2 month old while u work full time?

When I watched my friends kids they were about that age when I came back after she had #2. I worked 6am- 3:30 0r 4 and got $75 a day for going to her house and watching them. So less than $10/an hr

Depends. It'd be different for a babysitter versus a full time nanny.

10-12 for a babysitter
15-20 for a nanny

This.

I babysit occasionally now for a friend for her 4.5 and 18mo old. I do transport/clean house(they never require cleaning but i always do when the kiddos nap) and she pays $15. I would think $15-20 for baby twins is accurate for proffesional nanny (not teenager date night)

I don't think she's asking for herself.

I'm not.

I would pay the same as spunbutterfly mentioned, $10-12 for a babysitter and $15-20 for a nanny.
