Would anyone here work for a full day for 20-30 euro? I wouldn't and I wouldn't if I was 16! Thats an 8 hour day, for 20 quid? I wouldn't sit a dog for that price, never mind 2 children. But then I don't think I'd be using unqualified teenagers in place of proper childcare either.....
Oh get a grip..

I can't believe some people are comparing to working in a restaurant and the like, this girl will mind your prized assets and that should reflect the price she should be paid.Her age should have nothing to do with what she is paid,if she is doing the job that you would expect from an adult then even though she wants 30E a day ,lets be honest she is not going to cheeky and say what she really thinks, maybe settle go that extra mile not 40E but 50E.
I used to pay our babysitter a minimum of 10 euro to look after our children when we went for a quite night to the local, if we went down for 8 and got back about 12.30, she was always given a 50 and our children where asleep when we left.Lets gets things in order ,if you know your children are looked after really well then dont be tight when it comes to paying.
Hi, I take a different view here. A 16 year old should not have the responsibility of looking after kids all day. This is the easy way out for the parent and shouldn't happen. At this age 3 hours maximum is more than enough for a 16 year old, and not every day either. They are not much more than a kid themselves. I'm shocked that someone would go off all day and leave a 16 year old in charge of their kids.
