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.
The older and more experienced the babysitter, the more you can expect to pay. Sitters between the ages of 11 and 14 may be happy with $4 or $5 an hour.
