DancinCutie08 answered Monday July 11 2005, 1:19 pm:
it depends on your area. I charge $3 per kid per hour. it also depends on your age and that ive been babysitting for almost 2 years and im 15. because im so young parents arent going to pay be like $6 per hour per child just because i cant drive/ not an adult/ect. i would recoment working it out with the family instead if having a set rate on a flyer or whatever

it really depends how many kids and their ages. i usually charge about 3-5 dollars an hour. some parents like to pay just a lump & not by the hour. i have one family that just pays me $40 dollars whenever i come while others will pay by the hour. most parents are flexible and will ask you because most dont know either. just keep your prices reasonable. if they are too high most parents wont ask you to babysit again.

You should charge $5 per hour. You get enough and parents dont think its that much. But if you want extra moolah, tell the parents that you can charge $5 for weekdays and $7 for weekends because most parents go out on weekends.

hope i helped. love,

I let the parents choose what they think is fair. I usally get $5 a kid and add $1 for each kid extra. so lets say there are 4 kids i would get $8.

OrangeChikn answered Wednesday May 18 2005, 10:10 pm:
Depends on how many kids and how long. The people I babysat for always just paid me what they felt I earned. If they ask you what you charge though, suggest about $8.00 an hour.

Good Luck :)

It depends on the child(ren) you want to babysit. Usually, most babysitters charge around $5.00 and higher but right now, it's around less than $10.00 per hour. It's up to you on whether how much you want to charge per hour.
