Question
I hired a girl to watch my children and agreed with her on a certain hourly rate. Can I pay her more, or is there an issue of ribit (interest)?
Answer
If you pay her immediately after the babysitting, it is permitted (since it is not considered a loan), but if it is after some time, it is forbidden.
