Q: I was mothers-helpering for my neighbor. I had no clue how much she should of paid me. When she gave me the money, I felt she over paid me. One time, for just an hour, she gave me $8. Today, for just 45 min, she gave me $6! Is this too much? (Mothers helpering is when you watch the kids while one of their parents are home) The kids didnt really require that much. There are 2 of them (one 1 year old and one 4 year old.) How much should she pay me per hour?
Also... when I babysit them.. how much should she pay me?

that really isnt that much, but if you feel that way you can always say i dont feel comfortable taking this much money. i babysit one child and i get paid atleast $7 an hour. so for 2 children $8 is about right, plus think about it. your watching a 1 year old and the younger they are, the more you need to watch them and nuture them. so dont worry about the money, she obviously thinks your a great watcher and trusts you with her kids so shes paying you for your great work.
there was a newspaper article recently saying that good babysitters are hard to come by, so if you really adore them pay them $10 an hour. which i kinda find ridiculous but oh well. as for your babysitting tom, i would expect $6+ an hour for 2 children.
i went to a babysitting class and they said its best if you want to set the money limit. so if you want to tell her how much you want to get paid per hour (but make it not too pricy), then its better for the client so they know what your expecting. depending on where you live (urban, country...really rich, middle class, etc.) babysitters get paid differently but around my area people get paid around $6-9 an hour for 1 or 2 kids.
hope that helped!
