How much is the National Minimum Wage?
There are different levels of National Minimum Wage, depending on the age of the worker. The rates from
1 October 2007 are as follows:
adults (which means people aged 22 and over) receive the full rate of £5.52 an hour
a 'development rate' of £4.60 an hour is paid to workers aged 18 to 21 inclusive
young people (those older than school leaving age and younger than 18; you're under school leaving age until the end of summer term of the school year in which you turn 16) receive £3.40 an hour
Apprentices under the age of 19 are not entitled to the National Minimum Wage. Apprentices who are 19 or over and in the first 12 months of their apprenticeship are not entitled to the National Minimum Wage.
it would appear that you are getting well above the minimum wage, if you would like more information on this then I have added this website link on the subject

Thats quite a lot for a fifteen year old! For people under sixteen (in the UK) there is no minimum wage, so employers can pay them what they like. But for people aged 16-18, the minimum wage is (i think....) £3.20, so you're doing pretty good!

that's quite good compared to what some of my friends get. they get just over £4.
it seems unfair how older people can get paid more for doing the same job though...
do you get to keep tips?
if you do babysitting you can get a bit more, you can get £5+.
hope that helps.,
