I have a 2 yr old, he goes to a large daycare where all the providers are certified, etc. I have asked one of the teachers if she would be interested in doing some babysitting on the side and she said yes. I did check w/the daycare first to be sure this was okay w/them, they said its fine. Anyway, this is my total first go-around with a babysitter and I don't know what the usual rate of pay is. I don't need to (interrogate) interview her as I already know she is able to provide child care but what should I know before I have my first formal conversation with her about officially starting w/her. I have only one child, he's two, she (babysitter) is probably 18ish, she will be traveling to my house in her vehicle, etc. Should I take this into consideration when I pay her? I don't THINK she would be chatting on the phone, inviting friends over, etc and should I bring these things up before she works for me or only in the event it becomes a problem. I like to be thorough up front.
