Earnings over the summer?

What does you 16 or 17 year old earn over the summer per hour for their summer job? I will be paying our sitter $8.50/hr cash. My kids are older, it's an easy job. We live right by the neighborhood pool and she will be spending time there. Also, I'm hoping she comes back next summer. What kind of raises do teens expect?

Thanks

Definitely generous in this area

My 18 yr old will be up to 8 or 8.50 this summer as they give 50 cent raises each summer to the lifeguards and this is his 4th summer and he makes more than my 21 year old working at Panera because they only give 10/15 cents raises

Sorry, I mis-posted. National minimum is $5.15/hour, not $5.50 (I just checked). Also,
