Should grandparents be paid for babysitting?

Fenner (US)

My grandmother is going to be taking care of my son while we work full time. In no way would I consider not paying her. She says she is just happy to be able to spend time with her grandchild, however she is doing us a favor and we are saving a lot of money. So I feel it is not right to not pay her. Plus taking care of a child is work, especially as they get older and start to crawl and get into things.
