I don't have kids, but according to Babysitters.be, it depends on how many kids there are: One child, between €4 and €6. For two children, €6 to €8. For three or more, €8 to €10.

Second TheMissus - minimum 8 EUR / h, mostly 8 - 10 E/h + STIB or taxi costs, if late night return.
Even not teenagers work for 4- 6 EUR / h anymore.

an interesting conversation in my office suggests that there is a difference between rates charged by belgian teens and those charged by expat teens, particularly in the brussels area.

Pay peanuts get monkeys
If children are wake pay more to get them properly entertained. I think10€ is about going rate from what I was told. There were some schemes that operated where you went via a baby sitting group and paid a set rate and always got someone at least there was in overijse
