Would you hire 12 year old to babysit your kids?

Question

how much do you think is a reasonable wage for 12 year old girl who can cook, is really good with kids, and can double as a tutor?

Answer 1

I think the best people to ask this of is, u, and your parents

Also ask yourself these questions :

1. Do/Have your parents left you alone overnight yet ?

2. Do They allow you to use the stove when they aren't home ?

  

Answer 2

Only if I actually knew her well (like if she was a friend's daughter, a niece, or a very close neighbor) and I felt she was mature enough to be ready to handle that. I'm not sure I'd want her cooking though if I'm not going to be around.

At 12 though, I'd rather she was watching the kids for me if I, say, ran my own career from home and needed her to watch them while I work in another part of the house. If that were the case I probably wouldn't mind her cooking some.

Answer 3

no there is no way i would let a 12 year old watch my son!!! they arent very mature at that age, and most would probably panic in an emergency. i would really suggest trying to find someone older, at least 16.

Answer 4

i'm 13, i would ask for like, 5 bucks, an hour, or more, depending on the amount of kids. maybe like 5 bucks per kid, per hour. so if i baby-sat for you for 3 hours and you had 2 kids, you would owe me 30 dollars. that's reasonable.  and remember, some kids are more mature than others. maybe if you can find one, hire one that has taken the safe sitter class or the class through the red cross. i did when i was 11.

Answer 5

h**l to the no lol.......mainly because I have a 15 month and a 3 month, that even runs adults ragged lmao.

But I would if it was a relative or good friend, and if my kid was at least 4 years old.

Answer 6

depnd on how maure the gril is and how old the kids are shes lookin after and what time shes looking after them til/for.

i'd say 3 pounds an hour/ 6 dollars
