I get paid $10 an hour for up to 3 kids, $15 an hour for any more than that.

I've just paid a teenager (college age) about $60 for looking after DS from after school (3pm) until just after 9.30 (so just under $10 an hour). She picked him up from school, made him dinner and put him to bed. She thought that was generous - but it really did save my skin tonight.

She also did the washing up from dinner AND from the breakfast pots DH left this morning.
