I've heard that some babysitters take classes at local hospitals or community centers. What do they teach you? Are they worth it? Does it matter where you go to take them? (link)

I, too, have heard this. They're not really that cool, they just teach you the common sense stuff: don't let the kids play with matches, etc. Some of them give you a little pack that comes with first aid stuff and ideas for games to play with kids. But mostly babysitting is just common sense, so I wouldn't suggest it unless the kids you watch are constantly getting hurt because of your carelessness.

If you babysit four little kids by yourself for three hours, around how much should you be getting paid? (link)

Depends on how good the kids, the ages, and other things. For example, if you were babysitting a six-month-old and feeding him or her, I would want to be paid more than for babysitting a ten-year-old who basically takes care of him or herself. When I babysit, I usually tell the people to pay me around $2-3 per child per hour. That's for a good kid. If I had trouble with them or they're screaming babies, I charge more. Don't charge $10 per hour per child.
