Babysitting question...

How much would be appropriate to pay for a 16 year old to come to our house and watch our 4yo and 20 month old? We plan on going out to a movie, no dinner or anything.
It's been a while since I've babysat or anything.

Before anyone says anything rude, this girl is from our church. We know her family well and trust her completely.

Thanks for the input :-)

$35 for two hrs maybe? Its two kids so I think that's fair. But I don't know, if its a one time thing I would pay that, if its a weekly thing maybe a little less.

this is low, but i would give her 20, 5 per child per hour... that's enough for a 16 year old.
