How much to charge for babysitting 2 kids?

Question

Whats a reasonable price to charge for babysitting a 4 & 2 year old for 3days & 2 nights? I watched my girlfriends kids awhile ago (as well as my infant and 3 year old) and its so stressful, and with food that i am going to charge her this time to stay sane- she is getting a break from her kids making good money and im at home with them, what would be fair? Her kid is still in diapers btw.

Answer 1

i'd say $8-$10 an hour for two... and i think that's pretty generous. maybe check out some daycare rates in your area, and knock off a few dollars per hour for your friend. i mean, she is your friend, so don't go overboard with money... but don't put your sanity on the line for pennies.

good luck!!

Answer 2

500

Answer 3

50 dollars for the 2 year old and hour and 25 dollars for the 4 year old an hour
