Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
It's not worth it! Ask her if she wouldn't mind raising it a bit. ♥

Ok, who cares if you'e only fourteen. I'm only thirteen and you know what? I babysit 4 kids (3 girls one boy) and trust me, they ALL get on mynerves and I dont even get paid a dime for it. have you talked to your mom or dad about this problem. talk them into it and if you have to, beg!

Hey. Im confused...Do you get $5/hr or for 4 hrs??? Either way tho, that is WAY TOO LITTLE. You are underpaid for your age. My 12 and 13 yr old sisters get paid $5/hr, sometimes $6. I am 14 and I get paid anywhere from $7/hr to $10/hr and thats just for watching a toddler. So yea, definately ask for more $ n if the mom refuses or says your too young then be all well than im gonna have to work for someone else cause that is way to little. If you need a site that lists people who need babysitters, leave me a message. I know a really good one.

When I was 12, I once got payed $40.00 4 2 kids for 4 hours. The kids were in bed most of the time. I think you shoukld say $5 an hour or sompin like that. No1 should get payed $5 for babysittin 4 kids! Hope I helepd! Good Luck! Rate me please!

First of all, if this woman continaully asks you to babysit for her, then she obviously trusts you with her children.
What you need to do is sit down and really figure out what your time is worth. Many girls will charge $5 per hour for their babysitting services, and this is totally justified. You are taking care of someone's children, and that is a big job.
This is helpful - when you start a new babysitting job, you can be upfront and explain your rates. It's a little trickier, though, considering you have been working for this woman for awhile.
It'll be scary, but you really need to sit down with her and explain that you need to be making more money. Explain your reasons - this is a fair rate of pay, child caring is a demanding job, etc. Give her reasons, and keep in mind that you DESERVE to be getting properly paid for a job well done.
If you don't talk to her, then you're allowing yourself to be paid poorly. Perhaps because you are 'only 14' this woman thinks she can take advantage of you.
Be polite, but be firm.

well like i said, tell her you really need the money because your in need of it right now so ask her if she could pay you a little extra.. its not rude at at all-- n if that doesnt work then i'd just keep babysitting.. because to tell ya the truth 5 dollars isnt that much but i guess its beter than getting nothing right?

Hey age doesnt matter. Besides, 14 is the legal working age. She knows that if you wanted you could get a job somewhere that pays at least minimum wage (which is like $5.15 in NY but its higher in some states) So just because your 14 makes no difference! Your really being underpaid and babysitting isnt easy!
Hope i helped..(again!) lol :)
Take care of business hun...go ahead and talk to her

hey im 14 too and i still get paid $30 for 4 hours so just bring this 2 the mothers attention and tell her that $5 is just not enough

I answered your other question before too. Your babysittin and u deserve more money-your age doesnt matter at all....or at least it shouldnt-just talk to the mother about a raise.

I would still go ahead and tell her that you think you need more. Cause $5 for 4 hours isnt fair! Just because your 14 doesnt mean she cant pay less! You work hard and its not easy work looking after a kid. YOu deserve more than $4 andyou need to tell her that!

Ask her if she babysitted when she was a kid. Back in her day, people got 15 dollars for 12 hours of babysitting!!! so, in her mentality, that is alot. A good approach would be to ask her about that (no matter how boring) and to say, well, mom, things are a little different, and kids are WAY worse these days since their spoiled, its harder. Ask her to just think about it, and what the parents who u babysit 4 say about ur babysitting. Hope I helped!!
