How much should you pay your baby sitter?

it depends...how many people are you baby-sitting? If its 1 or 2 then $5.00/h. for 1 or 2 kids.

I would say that it depends on a couple of things: 1) the experience/certifications that the sitter has 2) Where you are located and 3) the number of kids she will be watching.

If a sitter has 5 years of experience, I would go up a $1 from the normal pay in your area. 5 years and under, you can pay them the "average" rate in the area. For each extra kid, you should add $1 too. There are may sites on the internet that have babysitting pay rate calculators, but that one I use is from Care.com: http://www.care.com/child-care-babysitter-pay-calculator-p1140.html. Good luck!
