Babysitting Rates

From Mommyplace.com WiKI Page

In Denver, Colorado it seems like most people are paying $8-$10/hour for High School babysitters and $12-$15/hour for more experienced babysitters (e.g., experienced Nannies, nurses and teachers who babysit on the side).

Most people I know say they pay slightly more for each additional child. So, if you have been paying $10 per hour for one child, you might want to pay $12-$13 if you now have 2 children.

Where do you live and what do you pay per hour for babysitting? And what type of sitter are you referring to? Highschool? Nanny? How many kids?
