[quote=Anonymous]We don't pay our 15 year old to watch our 5 year old if it's an hour here or there while we run errands, and in that case she's not expected to entertain him or do anything other than keep him safe or help him with something he can't figure out. But we do pay her if we are going out on a date or we need coverage when he's not in school. In that case we pay babysitting rates ($12 an hour) and she is expected to feed him and come up with some entertainment activities (she usually does soccer clinics or building projects with him) and not just leave him to his own devices. This arrangement seems to have worked out well, and it does help to make sure she doesn't feel taken advantage of.[/quote]
