In Ashbourne my sister gets €10 an hour for night time babysitting, there are 3 kids, usually go to bed without trouble about an hour after she arrives. They round up the hour aswell, eg 8pm - 1.30 am would be €60. Another sister looks after a child day time for few hours a week in Ratoath and also gets €10 an hour.
hi, our babysitter (Wexford/Carlow) gets €10/hour and round up to next hour as well, she is a bit older and works in a creche so is experienced with babies & toddlers.. She is brilliant though!
We give a local girl €25 to sit with two kids from 9 to about midnight and pay her taxi home (taxi that drops us off takes her). Shes excellent with the kids and would pay more without hesitation if she asked.
