Babysitter for the wedding?

Okay, so there are going to be only five kids at my wedding (two of the kids are my own and two are my maid of honours kids). I’m thinking of inviting someone solely to babysit. How much would I pay this person? They’d be there to watch the ceremony and eat at the reception then when the dancing and stuff starts they’d go hang out with the kids in the “bridal waiting” room which we’ve been told we’ll have use of the entire evening. One kid will be five, one will be four, and three of them will be two.

    Even if she herself can't do it, you can at least know what the going rate is for her kids. Whatever it is, I would maybe double it for the one night since she's supervising 5 kids vs 2.

    I do not (only family have babysat so far) but I think she might but I’m pretty sure her go to babysitter starts university that year and I don’t remember if she's going to be staying in the city or not. I’m acquainted with the Sunday school teacher at my church but I’m not sure if she’d be able to attend since my wedding is on a Sunday. I’ll definitely ask my moh to contact her go to babysitter (I have met the girl before and she does seem nice) to see if she’d like to do it.

    Do you or your MOH have a regular go-to for a babysitter? I would just pay their going rate. It shouldn't matter if they're watching you at your house vs a venue. That way it's someone you have a rapport with.
