Question

What is the price a 12 year old should charge per hour for babysitting?

Answer 1

I will have to say $5

Answer 2

that depends, are you also sleeping with the husband?

Answer 3

about.

$3-$5 per hour.

unless its fro family, then it shoudl be less, or for free

Answer 4

12 years old sounds too young to be baby-sitting, but that's just me, big hugs

Answer 5

It per hour

It depends on where you live

My niece started at 12 dollars an hour

Jr High, 8 dollars, high school 10 dollars

Some places are six

Take a babysitting class, and ask them

It really depends on where you live

Some towns are much more than others

Some States would not pay a nanny 12 dollars an hour, forget about a child

Answer 6

I'm charging $6 an hour for 2 kids and I'm 13... It really depends on if your daughter is mature, and how many kids she is babysitting:

$3-4 for 1 kid and a babysitter that is not very mature

$4-5 an hour for 1 kid and a babysitter than is mature

$5-6 for 2 kids and a babysitter that is very mature

Probably around $4-6 an hour...

Sry kinda confusing lol!

Hope I helped though!

Answer 7

$0 and 0 cents. A 12 year old is too young to babysit. I don't care how mature you think you are, you are not mature enough to be responsible for what could happen while babysitting. You still need a babysitter.

Answer 8

$7/hr. Its not slave labor!!! I would really feel bad paying less, although I would never hire a twelve year old. 14 yrs. old  the minimum.

Answer 9

i charge $10 for 6 hours for one kid

I charge $15  for 2 kids in same family for 6 hours

Answer 10

5-7$ per hour

Answer 11

100 DPH

Lol just kidding

Try 7-8 dph

Answer 12

$5-7.

Answer 13

It depends. I didn't really babysit that often when I was 12, I started babysitting more often when I was 13.

One of the only times I babysit when I was 12 was when I watched my mom's friend's 2 kids, who were 2 and 7, for like a half hour while our parents went out to get us lunch. I didn't get paid Though. Even though th 7 year old was pinning me on the floor and the 2 year old threw toys at me..

anyways, I think 12 years old would be better off being a mother's helper at first. I believe 13 is the legal age to physically babysit.

But to answer your question, I would say it depends on the kids their watching. Probably 4$ for the first kid, and add 2$ for each additional kid. So like 2 kids for 3 hour would be 18$.

Answer 14

I would pay like $5 per hour....people look to use kids because their not as expensive as adults.

Answer 15

me and my friend oferd to help run a daycare! for a 1 hour so i say 3 for a hour for 1 kid 6 for 2

Answer 16

I am 14 and I charge...

One Kid- $5

Two Kid- $8

Three Kids- $11

Four Kids- $14

I only babysit 4 at a time.

I start at $5 and go up $3 per person...

Answer 17

they shouldnt, 12 is too young to babysit.

Answer 18

Im 12 too and it depends on ghow many kids and the age and the time. your kinda young to be babysitting for a day. but maybe for 4 or 5 hours. if u babysitt for 4 or 5 hours thatn i would say 1.50 an hour and for two kids, i would say13.50 total

Answer 19

That depends on how much experience and training the 12 year-old has.  In general. I'd say from three to eight dollars an hour, depending on how many kids you are sitting for.

Answer 20

not a cent your not old enough to be left alone let alone be in charge of someone elses kids. your still a child who by law needs a babysiter

Answer 21

Why should they be paid any less then an adult??????????  $15 a day for one kid or 2 kids in the same fam for $20

Answer 22

probably like 3.50 :)

Answer 23

$7 per hour.

If the parents enjoy your services, they might increase the pay. It also depends on how many kids that you will be babysitting (the more children, the more that they should pay you per hour).
