Answer 1

You should babysit them. Because it is a good money maker and if you watch them car fully you wont need to do CPR.

Answer 2

IF THE KIDS R BAD U ASK FOR 40TO 50 BUT IF NOT 20 TO30 DOLLARS

Answer 3

Hey i babysit alot and started at your age, i charge 10 an hour for anyone with 2 to 3 kids about that age, but for someone your age it is best to give them a window of 6 to 8 an hour and let them tip if they feel it is necesary

Answer 4

just go up to their door one time and introduce yourself nicely and tell them that if anytime they want that you´ll be glad to babysit their children. also mention that you have taken classes so that they see that your trained.

okay and. honestly. you have to give a price.

why?

because it happens so that sometimes parents just give you too little (trust me from experience : got $15 for 2 kids for 4 hours. and didn´t speak up)

so don´t give an expensive price, but don´t rip yourself off.

otherwise, i hope things work out for you.

:]

Answer 5

just babysit them. dont ask for any. the parents usually give me a flat rate, not like $5 an hour or whatever, and i never say i charge like $20 per kid or whatever, just tell the parents your flexible with pay so whatever they wanna pay you is fine

Answer 6

The way to start is to offer to keep the children occupied when the mother has things to do , that is called being a mothers helper,  you might not make as much, but it gives the experience and it lets the mother see your abilities to entertain the children, and will build up her confidence level in you ... You are still young, so be patient and be willing to be a * mothers helper* for a while.  It might work for you ... GOOD LUCK
