[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op if you nickel and dime this you will be looking for someone every six months guaranteed. I am not sure you want that. And also the issue isn't finding people with the time slot....it is finding a person who can do it and pay her bills without juggling a second and third job. I was an after school sitter and was paid $500 a week for 15 hours. Besides childcare, I handled laundry for the little girl. I really loved it but family brought in grandma later to help so I had to go. Also since you require driving you don't want too old a person or an inexperienced high school driver IMO. [/quote]

I'm not sure why you are implying I'm going to nickel and dime this.  I am simply asking what the average going rate is since I know it varies and I'm trying to get a good sense of the norm. That is why I posted here.  I have had the luxury of working from home since my daughter was born and have not needed a regular sitter, so I am a little new to this.  You are right, I don't want someone inexperienced to be driving her, which is why I'm not posting on my neighborhood listserv for a high school student. I was thinking a college student with a car might be ideal. You were very lucky to get paid $500/week for 15 hours of work.  I was not expecting that the person I hire would be completely supporting themselves on this job alone. [/quote]
