Set a base pay of $20 bux.After a certain time, pay her extra.
Five bux an hour after 11pm sounds reasonable.
She may have other ideas,so ask her what she is thinking .

I don't think there is a set wage. I pay my sitters $5 per hour and with a $25 max for my five year old. Five and Six year olds are pretty independent. Now my 16 month old I pay $10 per hour with a $30 max. hope this helps! :)

Depends on where you live. $5 per hour/1 child is the going rate. Is the child going to be awake? Does she have to feed him a meal? Bathe him? or is he in bed, asleep and she can just watch TV? I'd offer a flat rate of $25 and extra per hour after midnight. Always overpay a good sitter with tips. Negotiate the fee prior to her arrival so there is no awkwardness when it comes time to pay her. Leave out board games, snacks and stuff to do. Good Luck and have fun on your night out!

I currently pay about $11 per hour for two kids, with a minimum of $40. She works with you and you don't want to seem cheap. Also, she drives herself to and from your home...that's a plus.
That said, for 1 kid, I'd pay $7.00 an hour with a $25 minimum. That way, she'll be there whenever you need her because it's worth her while.

Minimum wage is what $5.25? An hourly wage of $ 7-$9 /hrs is within reason.

oftentimes the thanks to handle that's enable the father and mom set your salary. in the adventure that they ask you recommendations a lot you want, reply with, "although you experience is a reliable fee." oftentimes you'll finally end up making significantly better than you ever may have reported. in the adventure that they don't pay nicely, do not go lower back. i have made as a lot as $15 an hour this way babysitting for one youngster.

I would say $5 an hour. That's extra spending money. Don't worry about minimum wage, she isn't WORKING for you.
