Babysitting rates
I'm wondering what current babysitting rates are for, say, a few hours in the evening for 2 kids. We have a 3yo and a 6 month old, so this is more involved than a teen watching older kids. We've had a college age neighbor sit just the one older kid for $15/hr before. (I couldn't find any recent posts in the archives on this)

We are in El Cerrito, and pay a college student $15/hour for two kids, ages 6 & 8. (so, pretty self sufficient)
We pay $15 per hour for two kids (ages 3 and 6). This is the rate charged by all of our 3 babysitters, all college students in Berkeley. (One started with us in high school and charged $12 then, but we moved her up when she got into college to be fair. She also was great and we wanted to keep her!)
