| What is the going rate for a teen babysitter today? For one kid? Two kids? And Three or more? Babysitter is 17. |

| We paid $12/hr a 16 year old for one kid. Probably would do $14/hr for a 17+ year old if watching 2+ kids. |

| My neighborhood 12 year old asked for $12/hour. So, it’s got to be at least $15. |

| Our neighbor asked for $10/hour for one kid. |

$10/HR is not enough. I would start at twelve at the very least. |

$10/hour for 1 kid is standard in our neighborhood. |

Not enough for who? A kid with no expenses? Give me a break. |

We pay $20 / hr / 3 kids.
I’m 40 and I earned $1 / hr / kid. |

She is using her time or you would have to stay home. Whether she has expenses is not a consideration and is none of your business. You pay what she charges or you find someone else. |

Yeah, and bread was once &.05 a loaf! $20 for 3 kids is dirt cheap. Your babysitter is cheating herself. She should be charging $45. |

The going rate in our neighborhood is $10/hour for 1 kid. So to say “that’s not enough” is wrong; it clearly is. |
