| We live in dc. What is going rate? She will be watching for 2 days. Approximately 6-7 hours. One child who is 4. (She’s very responsible next door neighbor.) |

Ask her. Then give her more than what she asks.
If you try to go cheap on you neighbor’s kid, her mother will hold it against you. |

| That's a lot of hours for a 16 year old. . We pay $12-12 for a couple hour for evening babysitting for same ages. Close in MD. But for 6 hrs I'd pay more. |

| We paid a 16 year old $10 an hour to watch our 7 year old recently. That is what our friends pay her. |

10 dollars is just rude.
$15 is a fair middle ground. Do that. |

| I totally agree with asking and rounding generously up. That way she will come back. |

Remember that you are not just dealing with a teenager but also the teenager’s mother. Ask the teenager her rate and add a couple bucks to it.
