What’s an appropriate babysitter price?

Kazia

Here’s my issue. I need to hire a babysitter 3 days a week, 7 hours a day. I live in Tel-Aviv, Israel and I have to travel to Jerusalem Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for class from 1:00pm-8:00pm.

My precious daughter is almost 3 years old, and I have never hired a babysitter before. The price would of course be in shekels but I can easily convert US dollars to what I would pay the babysitter in shekels.

I was thinking of one solid price per week rather than by the hour since it is a pretty significant part time job.

What would you first time mommies suggest that I pay the babysitter? What do you usually pay? What is fair for a weekly rate? Any ideas are welcome and thank you in advance for your time to reply 😊🌸
