I'm babysitting a 9 and 10 year old tonight, for 9 hours. How much do i charge?

Question

Also, What are some things I could do to keep them entertained.

-I was trained by the Red Cross for babysitting and First aid.

-I'm 14 years of age.

Answer 1

Well, since the children you will be watching are old enough to take care of themselfs most of the time, you should probably charge 5 dollars and hour.

Have a tea party, get them dressed up and put some juice in little cups and set out little snacks.

Go on a scavenger hunt by having the kids help you think of things to find and make a checklist for it.

Put on shows for eachother, keep everyone laughing and having a good time.

Play hide and seek through out the house

Dress up and pretend.

do some art projects and surprise their parents when they get home

Answer 2

At 9 and 10 they should be pretty good about entertaining themselves, but you can always play board games with them.

As for pay, it kinda depends on what times you'll be there. 9 hours is a long time I wouldn't take less than $50, or at the very least $5/hour. But if your getting there at 7 and they go to bed at 9 then $30 might be more appropriate.

Answer 3

around 20 dollars it really depends on your experience and how old you are. but umm good entertainment is movies and video games around that age
