[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am hoping to hire a PT babysitter this summer for 10-15 hours a week for about four weeks (mid July to early August). I figured a college kid (or very mature high school student) is my best bet. Has anyone done this before? If so:

What the going rate? Better yet, what's a *good* rate?
Is this realistic? Will it be impossible to find?
Should I start advertising and putting feelers out to friends with college-age kids now or wait until closer to the time I need someone? Since it's a pretty short-term gig, it seemed silly to try and line it up too far in advance, but now that it's June, I feel like I should start looking into it.

TIA![/quote]

My daughter was paid $20/hr her freshman and sophomore year and in her junior and senior and is paid $25/hr with a four hour minimum each day.  She has no difficulty finding jobs.  She does no housework or laundry but prepares lunch and cleans up after..[/quote]

Where is the best place to find someone? Having no luck by asking around.[/quote]
