I have a 5 year old who is no trouble at all and a 6 month old baby... My husband and I have thought about actually going out this year on New Years... but we dont know how much to offer a babysitter.. we typically pay 20$ for about a night of babysitting like 7pm-2am but it being New Years... I just wonder how much more... and also we typically have teenagers doing the babysitting... so any suggestions would be appreciated

I dont know about your area, but on craigslist.org under my City, there are a TON of people offering to watch your kids for New Years! Take a look at their prices and take an average! :)
The prices in my area vary though. I remember one year, I saw in the newspaper that there were two ladies offering to watch your kids overnight for $200 per kid! LOL This year on craigslist, it is much cheaper lol.
