Is this a reasonable amount of money for babysitting?

Question

I watched my 16 month old cousin today for about 5 hours and got $12.

Is that a good amount?

I'm not complaining, I was just wondering because my friend said I should have gotten like 3 times as much (I hope she was exaggerating).

Thanks

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I didn't know where to put it)

Answer 2

They should  of gave you about 20 dollars if you had to change diapers if not you should of still got 20 dollars like 12 dollars they got over on you.

Answer 3

This is not even a reasonable amount of money, unless you are 11 or 12 years old and can only work under the table because you're too young get a job.

I'm going to agree with your friend, you should be getting minimum wage at least, because that's what you'd be paid for a job as a teenager. I'm not sure about the current minimum wage, but it's around 6-7 dollars. Minimum you should've received is $30.
