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!

so there's this guy. i used to like him. i used to actually consider him one of my closest friends and advisors. he's 4 years older than me.

he's a jerk now. he gives shitty advice.
example:
me: I'm so sad.
him: heh. don't be sad then.

and that is the kind of advice he generally gives.
he makes fun of me with other people and then he tells me about it and laughs at me. he thinks of himself so highly that he hurts me in the process. overall: he's an a-hole.

basically, i want to put an end to our friendship. i want it to die down. he's perverted and mentally sick and can ruin my day in a flash. he ignores me and goes on to talk about himself whilst complaining when I talk about *MYSELF*.

I really want to insult him and tell him how I feel about him. How I've felt for the past 2 years. Should I do it? All those mean things... Would it be too mean? I mean, I hate the guy. I don't mind. And I know exactly what to say.

wow. first I'll say that i'm soo sorry that you had t deal with someone so self centered and arrogant. secondly, if you want your friendship with this guy to die down, YOU take control of the situation. Tell him how you're feeling, but in a respectful way. Don't let him have the upper hand. And I noticed you said you hated him, don't **EVER** say you hate people. Hating people gives them too much of your time and you are WAY to fabulous to deal with someone that will waste your time!!

Okay??
