How much to pay babysitter in Dublin?

[Easter]

Curious to know what people are paying occasional evening babysitters in Dublin? Ours is 18 years old, no experience. Evening time. Two children, mainly in bed. Thanks

€11 an hour

Similar - 2 kids, usually already in bed. We say a tenner an hour, but then always round up (so eg, end up paying €40 for 3 and a half hours).

Your babysitter is getting a good deal! I am thinking €12 for our 18 year old sitter. I find they normally power through a fair amount of food too

We always leave a few chocolate bars etc but they don’t tend to eat them. We’ve two best friends who decide between them who does it. I do think that you have to pay to see them home. When ours were very small we paid for our babysitter to get home at night. With the teenagers we walk them round.
