A good rate is $10-15 an hour.\n\nObviously, it depends on how big your house is.\nIf you find the right person and your house is small you could expect around $30.\n\nYou could save money by finding a starving college student or illegal alien.

You should charge $5 per hour. So around $30 would be good

If I hired you for the same job, I would pay you the cost of the food plus $4/hr for daytime hours and $1/hr for nighttime hours.  Plus reimbursement for gas and entertainment expenses.  So I would probably total it all at around $650.  Break it down and present it to your parents.  As long as they see it as reasonable, they should agree.  Good Luck!

I am going to assume, that you are not a licensed childcare provider. The going rate is (in my area) is $5 per hour or $25 per day....That is what most people are charging. I charged $4 per hour or $20 per day. For occasional sitting services. If it was a regular part time arrangement (less than 25 hrs a week) then I charge $60, for full time(over 25 hrs week) I charge $85 week. You should also set a drop off time and pick up time...and you can charge extra if they get picked up late. This will prevent people from using and abusing your good rates...Trust me if they can squeeze 15 min of free child care out of you everyday they will.  \nAlso, make sure you have some sort of written contract/agreement releasing you from liability of injuries etc unless directly related to child neglect or abuse, if you have animals in the home, be sure to include a section that protects you if one of your animals causes injury. State your opening and closing policies in there, policy on sick kids, days off, vacations theirs and yours. Put a lot of thought into it and make sure you and your assets are protected. Good Luck:)

Just ask - if you have a good reason then tell them ex.\n\n- the going rate is $8.00 hour for 2 kids and what your paying me is not enough\n- My standard rates are:  {Lay them out, maybe it is more per kid, more on weekends, more after 10 pm or something}\n- Explain that you are in high demand due to your excellent skills and certification and you can't afford to babysit for less than $10 hour etc.

I did babysit as an older sibling, but it was only if my parents went out on a date (not very often) or they had meetings at church.  It was okay, and I didn't really have a choice.  It was my way to contribute.  Why make my parents pay a babysitter when they've raised such a responsible child, right?  However, it was few and far between.  With my children, I will always pay them for watching siblings.  My 8 year old keeps an eye on her brother at soccer practice on the sidelines while I'm on the field.  For the hour she get $2, and I'm 20 feet away.  \n\nIt's kind of a touchy situation, depending on how often the older kids are required to watch the younger ones.  If they're not able to have a life, something needs to be worked out.  Parents should not expect older children to watch younger ones after school for hours so they can work.  If there are 2 incomes in the house, hire a professional to watch your kids.  That's where they should take more responsibility.

Depends on how long it took you, I would charge $60/hr

If you are baby sitting at her house I do not see why you would charge her. If she helps around your house and cooks for you then baby sitting her kids is a great thank you. Just make sure she keeps the stuff they need in her house because that isn't your responsibility to provide. If you are babysitting at your house then have her send their lunches.

You're too young to legally work in most states but you can baby-sit.  I did for a long time and made fairly good money.  I would try going to the local (in walking distance) elementary schools and posting ads on the bulletin board for an "experienced and responsible after school care".  Offer to walk the child home from school and have them do homework with you until their parents get home.  This way the parents will feel justified to pay you a little more since you'll be helping "tutor" ;)  After you get one child and are comfortable offer to take on another friend or neighbor child.  You should charge 7-8 per child with the homework factor (2 kids 7.50 per = 15.00 per hr not bad for 14 yr old ;) Good Luck!

Hi, i would definatly request no less than $10. Check what local daycares charge per kid in your area...you can use that in an interview when discussing your pay. For 3 kids i would say anywhere from 10-20 per hour $$$ Also remember if they say only pay you 11 or so an hour, require that they pay you a certain amount per mile...say like 40 cents or something. \nGood luck

If you can find that out, let me know. I know it's around $35 to $40, because I needed to get one done for a job I was going to.But that was 4 years ago, and I don't know what it is now. But isn't it better to pay a bit of money out than put you and your kids at risk?

It all depends on the ages, the younger the more money you should ask for..it also depends on the area..look and see what the daycares are asking for and ask for a little more..if driving the little girl to school is part of your agreement..but if you dont feel comfortable doing that dont..you should be making atleast 1500 a month atleast..
