How much should I charge??
Ok so here's how it works, I babysit 3 kids, one is 11 year old girl, a 8 year old boy and another 5 year old girl. I constantly have my hands full. I watch my employers kids, I clean her hous, I do her dishes, and stay there all night, most of the time, she usually stays out and comes home the next day. How much should I charge her? Thanx for the advice in advance..

I babysit a little boy, and I charge six dollars a hour, but I don't stay over night, and she specifically told me not to clean anything.
You could say six dollars an hour per child, and you'd pretty much be raking it in. :P

OH DEFINITELY 10 DOLLARS AN HOUR! You are doing a LOT of stuff for her and you are staying over night, so no less than 10 dollars an hour.
Good Luck :]

Well, you do a lot for them! I would say about $8 bucks a kid per hour! And because you clean the house, maybe an extra couple of bucks added to the total amount. If that seems a lot, it actually isn't because you're doing alot for her! If you want to lower the price only go down a buck or two per hour. The person who said 2 bucks an hour is insane!! If you charged 2 bucks an hour, you might as well work at Burger King and get payed more! Baby sitting isn't easy as it sounds, I should know. Just make a deal with the mother or father and you should get lots of cash!
Hope I helped.

wow that is a handful. It really depends on the financial situation of the mother. I made $500.00 for 30 day's worth of work for 1 child.If she's a low-income mom, go easy on the pricing but still charge enough so that it's even worth your time. If she make a pretty decent living, You could charge like $20.00 a night. That puts you making $100.00 in a 5 day work week. It's all up to you. BUT charging 2.00 a hour like another person said is insane to me because for you, that is alot of work for such a cheap amount. It also depends on your age. If your under 18 I think the 20.00 a night is pretty reasonable if not cheap! but if your older or have CPR training I would charge more. and she'll pay it because you know it cost $125.00 a week for 1 child in day care! That's $1500.00 a month for all children. So at any rate you would charge, she's still gonna' come out on top. Not to mention the fact that your cleaning the house too.

The common charge for babysitting these days is anywhere between $5-10 per hour, per child, but it also depends on what you can work out with your employer.
This may seem like a lot, but it's not when you think of the nature of babysitting: You are taking time out of your day to spend time at someone else's house, you are watching these kids, preparing their food and feeding them, entertaining them, and putting them in bed. Also, as you said, you clean her house and do other household things, which you actually shouldn't have to do (but are nice things to do which show how attentive you are).
So, just ask her how much she thinks you deserve to be payed, with that range of payment in mind, and see what you can work out with her. You never know, maybe she'll give you more!
