[quote=Anonymous]Our 14 year old (soon to be 15, I think) neighbor has expressed an interest in watching our 7 month old. It sounds like she does babysit occasionally, but doesn't have infant experience. So, at least initially and until my son is older, I would give her some training and be home/available while she is here. How much do we pay? We have three adult childcare providers who occasionally babysit for us on weekends (one is an experienced career nanny and the other two are daycare workers) for $20/hour (the rate they've all independently requested), so that's my only point of comparison. I'm thinking around $15? This seems high in comparison to the $20/hour for experienced help, but I can't imagine a teen would be interested in babysitting for much less. What's the norm? [/quote]
