Anyone know what the going rate for babysitting rates is around Dunboyne/Clonee area?

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
 
Not in that area, but we pay €6.00 per hour and round it up to nearest hour.

e.g. 20:00 to 22:30 = 3 hours, 20:00 to 23:15 = 4 hours

The girl in question is great, so if she asked for more, we'd happily pay.
 
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.
 
Wexford/Carlow babysitting rates

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.
