Question

Answer 1

I would charge for three days? uh i would do forty a day for each child

Answer 2

$20 a day!!

Answer 3

I think it depends where you live.  Some of the above people said charge $7 per hour, but where I live, you would not be babysitting if you asked for that amount or more, especially if you are babysitting on a regular schedule.  I watch three kids, and I have been watching them for four years now whenever they need me (which is about once or twice a month), and I make $5 per hour and their are many people in my area who make less than that.  It also depends what exactly they are having you do.  I basically just make sure the kids are trying to hurt each other and I make them lunch, snacks, etc..  If she is having you clean the house, etc., I would want more.

Answer 4

Back in old days 5c was enough but, it's not the old days it's the new days so I say start with 7$ an hour. (or be risky and start with 10 dph)

Answer 5

i have baby sitting expierence, and i wouldnt tell her somthing like a certain amount in a day. i would say somthing like, 3 dollers an hour, and it all depends on how the kid acts. that usually makes them more secure with you, and willing to pay that much.

Answer 6

$10 per kid . that's $20.then $10 for each day.that's $30. then add $5 on any other things she has you to do.together you should get $50+

Answer 7

since you just started i would say $7 an hour because any more than that would be to much then when you get older and better raise the price but dont really ever go more than 10-12 dollars

Answer 8

I do baby sit and I have been babysitting for 4 years I started out with nothing dont charge let them pay u!
