What should I pay the babysitter?

Hi girls! I've got a question. My niece and FH's niece are going to be at our wedding. They are both under the age of 3.

Since the RH is by the water, and I'm scared of them going for a swim, I decided to hire 2 babysitters to watch them at the wedding since all the parents are in the wedding party. (We also rented a hotel room next door to the RH, in case they need to take a nap or chill out and watch Sesame Street.). Between photos, ceremony and the reception, I'll need the sitters for 8 hours.

What should I pay them? I'm not sure what the going rate is for a sitter and I'd like to give them a little extra since its a wedding.

Thanks in advance!

15 an hour is good or you can just give them a flat rate for the night
