How much should I ask for to watch a 6-year-old autistic child?

Question

The woman only needs me for 3 hours, so I was going to ask for about 5-6 per hour since she is so close to my house.

Answer 1

16 dollars a hour. I work with autistic children and it is challenging so make it worth you wild. You can't take you eyes off some of autistic children it is round the clock care. So get paid.

Answer 2

I would ask for 20.00 for each day she needed me for three hours only.  Thats a little less than 7.00 an hour

Answer 3

if its the first time babysitting him 10-5$ an hour

Answer 4

Realistically babysitting is no place for a businessman's theory, but...

Your payment should equal at least the effort you put into it. Depending on how much trouble the child is, I would suggest going as high as 15, but if the child is more docile then 7 would be the lowest.
