Hey would you?

Question

would you hire me to babysit? i am 14.had red cross baby sitting classes.watched a 2 year old before.and ask to get payed $2 per hour per kid. if not tell me why?

Answer 1

exsperience is good but it'll nvr be enough,, only b/c kids will do the most stupidest and unpredictable things there for you can not take your eye of them.

i would go with just a normale rate of pay like lets say for 8 hours its 20 dollars and then it goes up from there on, if there late then you charge them 5 dollars.

the only thing with babysitting is finding the work & hoping you don't get stuck with some deamon kids.

Answer 2

you're ripping yourself off. Charge at least five an hour.

Answer 3

Yes, I would. I would start with a shorter amount of time, to see how it goes, and if it went well, I would let you baby sitting for longer amount of time. I hope you find a babysitting job soon.

Answer 4

If it was just on the weekend for a couple of hours - probably.

If it was full time - no.  Because you're 14 and can't drive.  No offense.

Answer 5

I would have to know you and your parents before I would let you babysit.  Your age would not really be a factor for me since I have known 14 year olds that were very responsible.  Your price seems to be very fair.  I guess I have never let anyone babysit my daughter before, but if I knew someone in the neighborhood that was interested in babysitting then I think I would let them babysit her for maybe an hour or two occasionally, if they had the qualifications that you stated you had.

Answer 6

14 ...that's why.

Maybe if I was at home and just needed to get stuff done around the house...but alone with no one else there...no.

I'd probably hire an 18 year old to babysit my 14 year old.  

There's no way i'd leave my infant or toddler at home alone with a 14 year old.

Answer 7

I think it would depend on where you live, your maturity level, and references up until now. I have met thirty year olds that I would never leave my children with and I have met some very responsible 14 year olds that I would be okay with for short periods of time like grocery shopping, etc.
