Local minimum wage and a tip of an extra hour was my thinking when I had babysitters.
As for finding one, perhaps (former) co-workers with kids? Friends? Local Girl Scouts? I was lucky-friends had teenage daughters, so I was never stuck for one.
I would suggest, if you don't really know whomever you find, that you take them in a time or two as a 'mother's helper'-she plays with and watches the baby while you do things around the house, or take her with you shopping so she can walk with the baby, etc. Makes everyone a bit more comfortable.
