[quote=Anonymous]I posted on care.com and put our rate as $15/hour, because that is what I had planned to pay - thinking it would be a young professional or experienced babysitter etc. A few local teens wrote me back, which I have never experienced on care.com before - usually it's a different demographic. I would love to have a teenage babysitter I could call, but at the same time I would not expect to pay them $15/hr. Most of the teenagers I know (who are not close enough by to babysit, or I'd use them) charge about $10/hr. This is in outer VA suburbs, if it makes a difference. Is it rude to respond to a teenager and ask what her rate is, or explain that I typically pay HS sitters less? I don't really now how to backtrack here. Maybe I should offer $12/hr?[/quote]
