I am in the country in Donegal, we would normally give €30 for approx 8 to 1, babysitter is 16 years old, kids are sleeping before we go out.
I think that's plenty, he certainly seems pleased with it, especially considering kids can't really get any part time work like they used to.
I would never get a boy/young man to babysit.
That's a terrible thing to say.
I have known this teenager all his life, he's known my kids since they were babies, I know all of his family and friends. His mum is one of my best friends.
I trust him far more than some random stranger teenager who would happen to be female.

Neither would I, a definite NO NO.
I have come across too many awful stories in my time about boy/man babysitters

Most cases of abuse happen in exactly this senario. If it was my son I would not put him in a position where he is alone with kids.
Utterly shocking posts...
Would you care to link to news reports of some of these cases?It may be shocking but A significant number of cases of child abuse happen in exactly these circumstances.
In country area not far from tuam where neighbor pays family member €25 for four (8 to 14) for full night. Drops her home around 12 the next day. She does get nice Christmas pressies etc.
€8 an hour is huge money in my eyes.
