I am a 16 year old girl who has taken a babysitting course a few years ago and is certified in CPR. I don't have a lot of experience. I have only babysitted once before, not counting my younger sister. I babysat for a family that had a two year old and a ten year old.

Now I am babysitting for a family that has three kids: A three year old, and two 18 month olds. I only babysit for an hour or so, and the 18 month olds are napping, so unless they wake up, the only major responsiblility is the three-year-old.

My question is, is $10.00 an hour too much? I didn't ask for that much, the parents just gave it to me. I feel bad accepting it because even though I don't just watch TV when I'm babysitting, I play with the kids, it seems like a lot. But then again, I don't know much about babysitting rates, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! (link)
Hello! Well, your question is a similar question that I had myself a couple of months ago. Look at it this way, I think that you should take in a couple of factors when deciding a rate: how many children, how long you watched them, what you did while watching them, etc.

Maybe you should talk to each individual customer and come up with a rate that suits you both.

hope that answers your question!

Signed,
