Oh, the babysitter question! I never know what to pay, so I am no help. I do think it is good to ask the sitter if they have a going rate. I find that they rarely do, but at least you have recognized they are valuable enough for their input. I usually pay six or seven dollars an hour then round up to the nearest 10, but I have no idea why. I do pay more to older sitters and to sitters who drive themselves. With gas prices, you really have to - I think it is good to choose whatever you are going to pay, then add a flat amount for gas. I hadn't thought about that until I started babysitting for a friend recently and that is how they handled it - a certain amount per day, plus $5.00 for gas to pick her up! Sure made me think about it!
