Yeah, well.... as far as what the family says..... when I told my cousin's wife that I think the going rate is $5-6, she said she once had a nanny that charged $6 an hour but also did stuff around the house all day so she couldn't see paying my daughter that much. Shoot, I almost told her.... why did you let her go? Give her a call! That's cheap! Seriously, the two kids she's wanting Skylar to babysit are 1 and 2 years old. The two year old you have to watch constantly or he will climb on the roof of the house! I would say those two are worth at least 6 bucks an hour!
