Going rate for babysitter?

[Anonymous]

What is the going rate (hourly) for a babysitter if you take the child to the sitter's home and provide all meals and equipment?

I don't use a babysitter because our Parents are nearby, but my sister's step-daughter (who is now 18), was charging $5/per child per hour. So, that would be a high-school babysitting rate most likely. That was in Baltimore so it may be a little higher here. I have looked it up for professionals though and seen rates from around $10/hour.

we pay $10 an hour for one kid and $15 hour for two for a grownup who drives. less for a teenager.

i think $10-$15 is the range generally. less for a high school student.
