Babysitting rates

[Guest Deborah5]

Hi All

 

What is the current rate for a 15 year old to babysit my two unneedy children.

 

She'll be babysitting 4-6 hours every week (in the afternoon) - does that warrent a lower rate? Or is that very scroogelike of me.

 

all opinions gratefully received.

Personally if she's good and reliable ..she's worth her weight in gold.

Can't comment though on how much her pay will be.

I pay my babysitter who is 16 $40 - if hubby and I are going out for the evening

Please dont take this the wrong way!!!!

 

Is it legal to leave two children with a 15 year old on a regular basis?

 

What is the total amount of time a minor can work?

 

Can you not send your children to OSHC?

 

I am not sticking my beak in just would like to know in case we need to leave our two rugrats some time in the future.

I found this

LEGAL AGE TO BABYSIT

 

We pay $50 dollars if we go out for the evening about 7:30 - 11pm
