well..find some recources..in a GL (girls life) magazine i found out that it is only fair to get $5 an hour and i also have a babysitting book that ive had for a few years says the same thing..do any of your friends or someone babysit? if they do ask them ow much they get paid..and also there is a way to ask for more money without sounding greedy or slefish..just say "Mr. and Mrs (so and so), i know that you guys pay for me and all..but i was just woundering if i could have the price raised by a few dollars..i just think that since ive been babysitting for a while but..well..schools starting and i need to buy some new things...please understand that i mean well with the money and im not using you for it" or something else that you might think of...iwish you the best of luck! hope i helped ;]

Ok..well for mi strategy i usually use this thing called a suprise box..if you have any old toys that you used to use wen you were little or sum toys from your lil brother or sister if they have any..the good thing is that this can work for all ages..decorate the box and make it look colorful..make it something that they will look forward of doing whenever you come...hope i helped! ;]

I babysit these kids A LOT!! There is 1 two year old, one 3 year old, 1 one year old, and 1 eight year old. What kind of games can we play to not be so bored and just watch scooby doo 3000 times.
THANKS :D (link)

I'm a babysitter as well and i read this book that had some really good ideas..do you have any toys laying around your house that you used to have or that you little brother or sister has..ask your parent(s) if its ok to borrow the toys..get a big carboard box and decorate it with colorful paper or paints put toys in it that they might me interested in, its called a suprise box, worked for me! hope i helped =]
