Alpo Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If you were going to pay someone to watch your 6-year-old child for a week, how much would you pay? There's a movie - 1999. Undercover Angel. Hallmark movie. The girl drops by to an old boyfriend's house, and says she has to go to Canada for a week, so she wants him to watch her daughter. Who he has never met. At first she's asking as a favor, but then she says that she would pay him, and she writes him a check while he is busily saying that she does not have to pay. She hands him the check and he looks at it and his eyebrows go up. But it never mentions how much it is. Apparently it's quite a bit. Just got me wondering how much you would pay to have someone watch your kid for an entire week. Spoiler alert - he finds out late in the movie that he is the kid's father, which is why the old girlfriend trusted him with her. So it's not as creepy as it might seem at first.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 My youngest granddaughters are making 20 bucks per hour to babysit. Things have changed a lot since we last hired babysitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Circumstances dictate many things. Today I’d say 500. 1999, maybe 300 for 24 hr care. Grandmother less, maybe 100-150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
