Im 15 (almost 16) and tonight Im babysitting my friend's brother who is 9 and her little sister who is 3 . I've never babysat for them before. Im babysitting 6:45 to 10ish I think.

Her mom wanted to know what my rates were I told her anythings fine as I wasnt sure what to charge.

What do you think is a reasonable price ? Oh and what can I do to entertain them ?(the 3 yr old wont be the problem, but ive never babysat a boy before )

  1. First, relax.  A fair rate would be 25 for the night...  for 2 kids.  

    Well as for entertaining them.  the 3 year old will be easy, just let her play with your hair.

    as for the 9 year old boy... he's either going to be very nice or rotten to you. lol  

    What does he like, does he like anything outside? let him burn some energy before the sun goes down.  

    Than inside, if his mom lets him, if he has any video games you can play with him or watch a movie, after the 3 year old goes to bed.

    just an idea.  Treat him like he's "an adult" that age likes that.  But remember your in charge


  2. I think the going rate is $5-$8/hour.

    The 3 year old would like to play with stuffed toys or even color. The 9 year old would like any video games you may have. They may both like a good kid friendly video.

    Ask your friend what her brother and sister like to do.
