anywhere around 7-10 dollars an hour cause youll just watch them sleep from like 8 to 12 but it depends on what time the parents are leaving

Answer 14

$8 or $9 an hr and they should drive you back home, 12 or 1am is not that late for them to do so

Answer 16

7$ an hour, if you know CPR then charge 9-10$

It depends on how mannerable the kids are...

If the kids are wild, charge an arm and a leg...

If not, charge your regular hourly pay and add a bonus!
