when do people usually start babysitting.. and how much do they usually get in an hour??

usually around 12 or older

charge depends on what kind of area you live in like if you live in the Gettos then like 5 dollars and hour if you live in a rich neighborhood you can charge up to 15 dollars but io say the safest bet is around 6-7 dollars. thats what i chare and i also get a fat tip ! :P

lol hope i helped

okay im 14/f.

i started babysitting at the beginning of the school year. the lady who hired me said that she needed someone she would be able to rely on. she pays really good money but recently her hours got changed and i'm working 3:30 to 6:00 when usually i only did 3:30 to 5:00. i don't even get to eat with my family. and when i get home all i wanna do is just go to bed.

the kids are fucked up. they get disciplined but their mother just laughs when she yells at them. they're really spoiled and get their way all the time.

the other day i was watching them and i was swinging on this swing. well their dog attacked me for no reason. when i told the mother she said "oh sometimes you just need to hit him" he even ripped my pants! there's a small hole in the pants and there's a HUGE bruise on my leg from where he bit me.

when i got my paycheck their was no money for the pants that the dog ripped. i'm really sick of them and i wanna quit but i don't know how to say it. if the dog bites me again i'll have no problem but what should i do in the mean time? i was thinking of giving her my two weeks notice but chickened out. what do i say?

well tell her that you dont think that you are a good matchfor her family anymore

Across the street from me, an elderly couple sold their house and the people that bought it have two young boys, ages 4 and 7 I believe. They have asked me if I'd like to babysit for them and that's fine with me. I've babysat before but normally I'd do it free of charge. It's come the time where I'm getting older and I need to get money. I'll be driving in a year and my parents aren't going to be paying for my gas and car insurance. What would be a good amout of money to ask for? I don't want to be asking for too much. I'm 15/ female.

i charge 7 dollars an hour but if they have 3 or more kids then 2 dollars every hour
