The Baby Sitters’ Guide

Channel3000:

Baby sitters may be more prepared than ever for caring for kids these days, but how much is that preparation worth?
A survey of more than 500 parents found the pay for baby sitters ranged from $1.25 an hour to $16 an hour.
“I will hear in the range from $1 an hour to $10 an hour,” said baby sitting instructor Joyce Muxfeld. “I often have at least one person in the class who said they receive about $10 an hour.”
On June 1, the state’s minimum wage will change. Minors will make $5.90 an hour, but baby sitters earn a lot more than that.
