BeckyBoo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Just a quickie, how much do you pay a babysitter to sit for two children for about 2 hours on a weekday evening? It would be an adult babysitting, only I haven't got a clue! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I haven't had to pay a babysitter for a long long time but when we did we use to pay whatever the minimum wage was. So for an adult now it would be £5.93 ph, you could be generous and round it up to £6 ph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I babysit for a family across the road from me and last time I babysat for them I think I got paid £10 for about an hour and a half (and some maltesers! ) Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I got paid £20 for about 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 We pay our childminder £5 an hour, so I guess a little bit more for the evening, say £12-£15 for a couple of hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 My SIS in London used to pay £10 per hour We used to pay adults £6 per hour some years ago. For teenagers around here the going rate is £4-5 per hour before midnight and £6 per hour after midnight. With of course full fridge raiding rights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
