How much do kids get paid for babysitting?

My 15 year old daughter has been asked to babysit the little girl (5) next door for a few hours on a Saturday night, starting at 5.30pm. What's the going rate. We get along really well with out neighbours.

I'd pay an unqualified teenager $15 an hour. Or if it was a once off I'd pay $50 for the night.

I used to get $50 a night looking after 5 kids, one a baby at 13yo haha. Times have changed alot since then. I used to pay a young 15yo, $70 for the night. So from 8pm to about 2am

I would also pay $15 per hour for an unqualified 15 year old.
The going rate for adults with relevant checks & qualifications seems to be $25 - $35 per hour.

$15 an hour or 5 hours for $50

You don’t want your daughter taken advantage of, so not too cheap and if if they make it a regular thing def $15 an hour or $50 for 5 hours, I’d say. Make it worth whole for them leaving here for 5 hours and your daughter making $50
