Babysitting rates help?

Question

Ok well i am 13 years old and i want to start babysitting after school.but i am not sure what price to charge.I would probally make snacks for the kids and help them with thier homework.I want to know a reasonable price to charge for the work i will be doing

Answer 1

My friend babysits for a ton of families in our area and she doesn't have a set rate. They just give her what they think she deserves at the end of her work. If they ask "Is $20 enough?" You can say yes or no.

Most people will give you more than enough

Answer 2

i make 10 euros an hour (i live in paris, france)

so you should ask for 6 dollars when you begin and if you become popular with more then one family raise your fee dont be to rude or to expensive 15 dollars is WAY to much

Answer 3

$:5.00 ~ $10.00 I suppose

Answer 4

I pay my babysitter $8 an hour, but I have 2 kids under the age of 3 and they need constant attention. I would base what you charge on how many kids and what ages they are. An older child will be alot easier then say a 2 year old...

Answer 5

For your age and the responsibilities you will be handling I would at lest charge 5 dollars and hour for one child up the rate some for more than 1. You could just go with a set rate.  

Answer 6

some where under 5 bucks an hour... like 3 or more  

Answer 7

It depends on what age the child is.

Let's say the child is aged 6+, you would probably chose a minimum wage like 1-2 dollars per child.

If the child was aged 3-5, it would be a little more work so you would raise the price. Maybe 3-4 dollars per child.

Ages 0-2 is a whole different story. They is a lot more work to be done so you should charge around $5+, per child.

If you are doing nights, you could charge a litle less because they will probably be in bed sleeping and all you have to do is check on them. Charge maybe $0.50 less.

I hope i helped&&i hope you find a babysitting job.<3
