The only person I've had watch my son that isn't in the family was a 14 year old girl, but I also happened to be dating her mother, so I'm not sure how much that counts.
She seemed to do a pretty good job with the boy, and he really had lots of fun with her, though he probably didn't do too much that could be considered "productive" or "educational". He was only 3 at the time so I wasn't too worried about it and I do plenty of that with him anyway.
As far as pay, I gave her $15/day, and that was only while I was working, so she never had to watch him more than 9 hours at a time. She offered the price, and though it seemed like I was getting off easier than I should've, her mother insisted that that amount was more than enough.
I realize now that this probably isn't helping much for the original poster seeing as you're married...
