I'll channel you into the thoughts of one of the biggest $$ generators here, (Not Calif.) my kid.,
My kid is just starting- $$ range from 6-10/hour going down as the number of hours increases. that is, running out for an hour 10$- going out for 6 hours , 7$ might be okay, but not NYE which requires a bigtime premium.
The best babysitter lives across the street so you don't have to drunk drive her home, but you should pay for her door-back to her door time. You must provide dinner/ and snacks. If you hire my daughter pizza is okay, I think absent some dietary thing this would be true of most.
This American Life has a hilarious story about babysitting food. if you download old ones and are interested let me know and I'll give episode detail.
