Students have so many advantages. A favorite incident was coming home and finding the sitter using those ball-and-peg molecular models to teach the children what happens to ozone in the atmosphere. Everyone as happy as a clam.
In our area the going sitter rate is probably $12 an hour. For the hiqh-quality people I hire, I start them at around $15 and give raises up to $19 an hour. Once they have experience with my 2E, they're worth more than that, but they tend to understand that I'm on a budget.
