[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 63619, member: 3783"] We live in a small town - most sitters are not required to drive our kids anywhere and only rarely babysit at night. For 2+ kids, we pay $8 per hour if they drive themselves here, $6-7 if they don't. Also, some sitters are very organized and high energy and tend to keep the kids happy and busy as well as make sure the house is picked up (hopefully by the kids) before we get home. Others spend the day texting their friends while they encourage the kids to watch TV all day and the kids are crabby and bored when we get home. I wouldn't pay them less, but just plan on not utilizing those babysitters again except in dire straits. AND specify expectations about screen time for the kids! [/QUOTE]
