Advice for baby-sitting?

Question

I am 13 year old girl, 7th grade, 3.8 - 4.0 GPA average. I was thinking of starting a babysitting service with one of my friends and to bike to my clients. Any tips, advice, warnings, sites for me? Thank you all so much! Also, how much should I charge? I play guitar(I could sing to the kids) and I would be willing to clean around the house a bit and help with homework.

Answer 1

going rate is about 5 dollars an hour but it all depends

Answer 2

I think if you take an american cross babysitters training course, it'll help you tons!

Answer 3

i would get certified in cpr and the hymlic mannuver. this will help parents have more confidence in you. alot of ymca will run a babysitting class. this will teach the basics , diapers, bottles, activities etc. good luck and have fun
