Child care rates?

[sarah-raz.livejournal.com]

I have a question for the parents and/or child care workers in the community. What is a reasonable rate to charge parents for babysitting? I'm a grad student looking to supplement my loans and TA job with some evening babysitting, but I haven't done any in the Boston area since I was in high school.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

By the way, I meant to say, since you're located in the Davis Square area, there is a yahoo group dedicated to Lexington Park (it has some huge turf wars going on, but you can ignore that), where people occasionally post looking for sitters. Honestly, I don't know the etiquette of posting "Hey! I'm available" there, but it might be a resource.

HTH!
