Answer 5

If they only let you stay out until 9, you are only going to get the occasional job when someone needs you to watch their kids for the entire day! Try to explain this to them. Maybe you could talk about something that you want and explain that you are going to save up for it with this babysitting money so that they do not have to buy it. Also point out that the people are nice, and that you trust them. As for the usual time for babysitting jobs, I would say anywhere between 2-5 hours if the parents are going out at night. If you are watching the kids all day, it could be up to around 12 hours. It just really depends on the occasion, the people, and the time of the day.

Good luck and hope this helps!!!

my sister is 14 turning 15 in july and she baby-sits usually from like 8am to like 3pm on summer and gets like 100 bucks a day.  Sometimes she only baby-sits for like 3-4 hours.  But she does a really good job and like cleans the house makes everyone happy so she gets paid ALOT>I WANT HER MONEYLOL

Answer 7

11:30 is kind of late and I can't imagine parents staying out until 11:30.  I have both baby sat and had baby sitting up until 10:00 latest.  I think if your parents gave you an extra hour, that would meet several people's need.
