Although the economy is still rough, my husband and I feel it's worth spending the money on a babysitter again to keep our sanity and to keep our marriage alive.

While searching the web, I found a few helpful online articles. They all agree that there are many factors to consider when deciding on how much to pay a babysitter:
- Babysitters age, experience babysitting and training (CPR, first aid, classes etc.)
