The area that is now New Mexico became part of Mexico after the  Mexican War of Independence in 1821. It was ceded to the United  States in 1848 after the Mexican-American Wâ¦ar and the Treaty of  Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Unlike nannies, babysitters often work part-time or on an âas-neededâ basis for several families at a time, and are paid hourly at the end of a shift. Hourly rates are influenced by cost of living and minimum wage laws. According to a 2017 survey of Sittercity babysitters, the U.S. national average is $13.95/hour.
Babysitters now bring in an average of $15.71 an hour, an increase from about $14.91 an hour in 2015, according to new data from childcare website UrbanSitter. Watching two kids comes with an hourly wage of at least $18, the site reported.
