STIS: what is a fair rate for a babysitter who is coming over around 3 in the afternoon and staying overnight b/c we'll be home late?

I've never hired a non-grandparent babysitter, so I have no basis for what I should owe this girl.

$60-$75 (depending on what activities are planned with J.). -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 14:15
Depends on the age of the babysitter, but if she's a fully formed adult in possession of most of her mental faculties, I could see myself springing - Loyola Jul 16, 14:05

- that's in the ballpark of what I was thinking. -- nm - TFox Jul 16, 14:05
Ask her what she normally changes for babysitting and spending the night. -- nm - Inigo Jul 16, 14:03 7
- This would sound really bad coming from TFox. - Will Hunting Jul 16, 14:05
- "$25 per hour, plus $2500 for the night." -- nm - danger, will robinson! Jul 16, 14:05
- I'd probably say in the $50 range. -- nm - Inigo Jul 16, 14:05
- This sounds like an early 90's Drew Barrymore movie. -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 14:05 3
  - I retype the subject three times to avoid this, and Max's comment then just gave up. -- nm - Inigo Jul 16, 14:07 2
    - aww. - b, Jul 16, 14:08 1
      - That would have gotten me backboardin' fer sure. -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 14:10
condoms and liquor for when her boyfriend comes over -- nm - ty97 Jul 16, 14:03
