Flat fee/first hour $5-$15
Per hour $7-$10
And you might want to add an extra $3 to each hour for the other child. Alot of people take what the kids age is and make that how much they make per hour. ♥

i'd say$5 or $6 an hour, those are really hard ages to baby sit for. i baby sit regularly for 8 and 1 1/2 year ols and that can get hard. dont go for less then $5 though.

That depends on how long you are babysitting but you could try about 5 or 10 dollars an hour. Hope this works good luck babysiting.

I babysit, so I would think you should receive $6 an hour if you babysit more than 4 hours. If you want anymore advice on this, just write me back. ~4evaurs~

Dr_Insane answered Sunday November 21 2004, 1:51 pm:
I personally get paid $7 an hour. But some may think that is too much. Charge $5 an hour. Then they may decide to raise it if you do a good job!

MedicatedSanity answered Thursday November 18 2004, 6:46 pm:
well... how old are you? how experienced are you?

but generally... 4 to 7 dollars...
the younger/less experienced you are... the less they will pay...

oh and you should check to make sure they have enough money "Hi! I before you leave, I was wondering if a rate of 5 dollars an hour is okay with you?"

xlostangelx answered Friday October 29 2004, 11:54 am:
i would say anywhere between 6 and 8 dollars an hour because a lot of hard work comes along with watching young children.

russianspy1234 answered Friday October 29 2004, 2:02 am:
generarly babysitters charge about 5-8 dollars an hour. if your experianced you can go up to 10 especialy since its two babies and they require more work than say a 6 year old. um so yeah id recomend asking for 10$ an hour plus snacks.

dramaqueenbabeiwb answered Thursday October 28 2004, 11:11 pm:
It kinda depends on how long your babysitting, or how well you know the person. I'd say like five buck an hour maybe.
