Question

Answer 1

2 to 2.50, and hour per child...

Answer 2

i think you should set a price for urself, like you wont take less than a certain amount.  but before you go to babysit ask the parents how long they will be out and how much r they going to give you cause it might be more than ur price, there's no reason to sell urself short.

Answer 3

It honestly depends on what state you live in.  You can base it off minimum wage but the easiest is setting your own price.  If you're in California, $10/hour for a kid your age is a good rate.

But setting your own price makes it easier and instead of having to deal with parents bargain.  Look up your state and base it off around that.  

With your experience, I think you should be able to charge more than minimum.  Most kids your age don't take those procedures to be certified, so good for you.

Answer 5

It depends on where you live.  Maybe start out by sitting for some friends of your parents, or some acquaintances and see how much they offer you.  From there, set a minimum price and judge from there if the job is worth it based on time frame, how many kids, their ages, etc.  Good luck!!  i'd hire you!

Answer 6

One kid $2 an hour. Two $2.50. 3  kids  $3 and hour
