What is the going rate?

Last week was the first time I hired a babysitter for all 3 kids.  I realized that I'm really not sure what the going rate for a sitter it these days.  I"m think I paid her well but I want to feel sure when I'm paying my sitter.  So I really want to know what you think?  What is the hourly wage per how many kids or however you think about it?

i never really know either! we've gotten a babysitter just a handful of times and with our three we've usually done between $5 and $6 per hour.

I used to do 2 bucks per kid, per hour. For the last couple of years I haven't had to hire babysitters so the price may have gone up.

I do around $7 an hour.
