It'll probably cost you at least an Eiffel Tower. Maybe a spit roast if the hands are sticky...

You have to be kidding me. A parent asks about babysitting and you guys throw in the Pedo Bear. Sheesh. Come on man. I can barely understand the Pedo Bear humour but you actually "go there" when a parent is asking about babysitting. Amazing.

Maybe you'd be happier on a different internet.
"Oh noes, the PedoBear is in this thread! What if he ACTUALLY KIDNAPPED MY CHILD!"
News flash: the boogeyman isn't real.

Why should you pay more because the babysitter wants to bring a friend?

They asked a question about the cost of babysitting.
Whats your point?

You seem like a really fun guy with an awesome sense of humour. Want to go to Thailand with me next month?

It's usually the ones who take the most offence who are the ones who have the most to hide. Hope you're not looking for short-term love in an Edmonton BP!

You obviously don't like Calgarypuck, and the culture of this site. Why do do you keep coming back, only to get pissed off in every thread?

not sure if you are being sarcastic or not ...
anyhow, when it comes to children, better safe and paranoid then sorry. dont think you get a mulligan on it.
so for those people who think they should only pay a minimum wage (or similar) cuz the kids are sleeping and the babysitter is only there if something goes wrong ... well, umm ... if something goes wrong, dont you want someone around with the ability to handle the situation? a 14 year old working for $30 surely doesnt have the life skills to handle choking, fire or broken limbs ...
how come people pay $75 an hour (or more) to have their car fixed but cant fathom paying a similiar professional to watch their kids?

Becaue the general philosophy is that everyone has the capability to watch kids and call 911 if their is a problem. The vast majority of parents probably don't have the life skills to handle choking, fire or broken limbs. When these situations happen you deal with them the best you can. If you hire a babysitter who has taken first aid courses you are probably getting someone who is better formally trained then many parents.
With a car their is a scarcity of people trained to work on them therefore the demand for their services are higher. In the babysitting world their are many people interested in doing it do supply is higher therefore the price drops.
Also the general price of babysitting determines the level of people who go into it. So even if you as an individual wanted to pay someone $75 per hour to babysit you likely wouldn't find someone with better qualifications then someone who was paying $20 per hour.
And finally what qualifications would you be looking for in a babysitter. To me someone with experience in the age of kids they are babysitting as well as basic first aid courses and good references is about all you really need for someone to watch sleeping kids.
Despite what many panic driven people would have you believe keeping kids alive and safe is a relavtively easy task.

fair points ... but your last point  it may be easy, but i am pretty discerning on who i trust my kids with. teenagers dont qualify and neither do smokers by the way.
smoking is pretty terrible use of judgement and a careless risk .. if you dont care enough about your own health, cant imagine you will care about the offspring of someone else.
