i pay my sitters $10 / hr.
they're mostly friends of mine (late 20s / early 30s)
who have low paying jobs or are going back to school - or both.
i don't mind chipping in for their savings.
i know that's not an option since you said you don't know anyone,
but i'm just letting you know that the price is not unheard of.
but my sitters are adults.
for me, the big distinction is that they can drive themselves to and from the job. i'm not playing taxi service.
BUT there are some friends of mine with kids
who've posted ads at the local university,
particularly in early education / childhood development depts.
they've had success there.
