How much are babysitters making in your area?

Curious as to how much teenage babysitters are making in your area?

Columbus, Ohio - We pay ours $12.00 per hour.

Edited: Sorry, I didn’t see you qualified this to just teenage babysitters. Our babysitter is in her early 20’s, nursing student at a local college.

I’ve seen discussions that say $10/hr here in the Cleveland/Akron suburbs.

I have a 14 year old boy just starting out.

We are figuring $5 an hour if the parents are home and $7 an hour for when they are not.

Its surprising how many parents want a sitter even if the mother is home because she just wants time for herself to get things done.

After a year he can probably go up to those rates.
