How much should I charge to babysitting?

Question

I am a 20 year old that is going to start babysitting a 2 year old and a 4 year old. This will be my only job apart from school. The hours I am watching them are from 2 to 9 or later. I will be cooking, cleaning, and driving them to places. How much do you think I should charge? I also have babysitting experience so this is not my first family.

Answer 1

ya i think 8-10 per hour will be fineee

have fun !!

Answer 2

7 - 10 bucks an hour since your going to be doing all that for them...

Answer 3

I would go a flat rate of 100 per day.

Answer 4

I would probably charge $75 for the 2-9 and $10 for every extra hour ($5 for every extra half hour)

Answer 5

$10 an hour since you are going to be cooking, cleaning, and driving them to places.

Also, I would ask for $10 in gas money.

Answer 6

If you are a driver it is fair to be charging $10 an hour (here in NJ anyway).  Since it is 2-9 and includes dinner and bed time, plus driving, even the flat $100 a day is fair.
