    our nanny is through a reputable nanny agency, on top of the $22 per hour, each time she comes to us we pay an agency fee $18 and $4 travel fee. Yes it is expensive, but she is fantastic.

    We pay $15 per hour if DD is asleep (no work required) and $20 per hour if she is awake. All the girls who work in my shop do babysitting part-time, they are either university graduates or still going to uni and have been babysitting for 5-8 years. The high school girls also babysit and they charge $10-$15 however I wouldn't get them to look after her whilst she was awake and I wouldn't go far.
