Question

im 19 years old. i babysit 4 kids plus my own. my baby and the 3 year old are home with me all day. 2 older ones are in school till 3pm and the 5 year old is in school for half the day. what should i be earning per hour for these 4 kids? i dont have a license but ive been babysitting for like 6 years. ive worked here for about 1 one year. i work 10 hours a day from 7:45 to 5:30. and i clean the house and do laundry every day.

Answer 1

$5 per kid per hour

Answer 2

it depends on where you live. I live in north carolina and i get 7 dollars an hour.

Answer 3

I pay my sitter $10 an hour but that is just a high school kid watching my son NOT the level of work you are doing. I pay daycare about $500 a month for one child. Get your certification so you can justify the charges. I would charge no less than 20 dollars a day per child.

Answer 4

well i pay my babysitter 20 dollars a day for about 5 hours. If you do the laundry and clean the house then you should be getting paid more. I would say about 50-60 dollars a day!! if they were at a day care they would be paying 400-500 a week and would NOT be getting their house cleaned. You never said how much you are currently making? I would def. go for 60 a day. 6 dollars an hour for 4 kids....

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

first off get your license or certification (it's really easy and really helpful)

you should earn 2 bucks an hour per child minimum (not including your own of course) so that would be like 40 bucks a day or 200 a week but if you get your license i would up it to 4 an hour per kid meaning  you should make 400 a week

Answer 9

If I were you I would charge $15 an hour.  That is $3 per kid per hour and then $3 for the house work an hour.  I personally would say $20 cause that is alot to deal with.
