What's the going rate for a babysitter?

I sometimes babysit I charge $15 per hour and add $5 on top per extra child. I have experience and qualifications in child care. When I go out I get my nieces to look after my kids and I pay them $10 an hour

I spoke to a nanny the other day. She is mid 20's and she said she works for $18 an hour minimum 3 hours. Well hello...very demanding!! But I suppose reasonable, but Im not using her! I get younger girls who are $8-$10 per hour! but that's only at night when baby is asleep! xo
