Charging more is a sure fire way to make more money while babysitting. If it's only 1 kid, then $5 an hour is the perfect amount. If it's 2-3 kids then $7 an hour is decent, if it's more than 3 kids you should be getting about $10 an hour. I should really learn to follow what I'm saying, I just let people pay what they want. I get $10 an hour from people with one kid, and $5 an hour from people with 3 kids... messed up.

Anyway, you can also put up fliers saying that you babysit. If you aren't already certified, then go through the classes to get you certified. Become certified for CPR and important precautions like that. Also, if you take parenting classes the clients (parent) think a whole lot better of you and may pay you more. This one lady used to pay me $5 an hour until she found out that I took a parenting class in school (and plan on taking some others next year)

Befriend the children of the neighborhood and stuff like that, parents really like a babysitter that their kids adore! Remember that, and don't be afraid to ask for a few extra dollars if the kids were just horrible or something of the such. Be assertive, but friendly at the same time. Good luck.

I am a certified abbysitter and you get more clinets if you are certified so do that. Also getting a CPR liscene is not a bad idea. Also try to get your parents to talk to thier friends to get you jobs. If you get I job make sure that the kids like you alot so then maybe they will tell thier parents how good you are and you will get a bonus ;-)

The trick is you have to babysit people who live in a nice house and have 3 or less kids, they tend to pay more because they can afford. Also the longer you babysit for someone the more they trust you and the more likely there'll pay for you. good luck

Well, you could get certified in child care. Certified people get paid more than uncertified. Or you could go the evil way and pawn all their stuff!

I love you,
