I love Wikipedia because it is so elementary that it actually surprises me with some of the topics it will define. The babysitting entry has some interesting hourly stats, but I’m pretty sure $15 an hour is rock bottom in New York. Read the excerpt below and check out the entry wiki entry here.
Babysitting is the practice of temporarily caring for a child on behalf of the child’s parents. Babysitting is most commonly performed as an odd job by teenagersfor extra money, stereotypically, but not necessarily, girls. Babysitting can be quite lucrative in some countries, but rates vary considerably according to the location. According to Runzheimer International’s Mobility Report, average hourly rates in September 2005 in the United States of America are $6.04. In New York City, the average is $11.08, whereas in Portland, Oregon, the average is $2.90.[1]
