babysitting rates..


Question Posted Friday June 13 2008, 2:28 am

i just got my first real babysitting job.. i have babysat family and stuff but i have never gotten paid.

I have to watch two kids.. a one year old boy and four year old girl. and i was wondering what anyone who babysits gets paid. i just want to know if I am getting paid well or if i am getting screwed.

soo if any babysitters want to tell me how much they get paid, or what parents pay that would be great. thanks in advanced!

I live in Ontario Canada and I'm 13/f , I have not completed any babysitting couses but I know everything in them.I charge 5 dollars an hour. or I just let them give me what they want , sometimes I'll just say , pay me what you want and they'll say how much do you want and I just say work it out to 5 bucks an hour.

I have 3 kids, and I pay my babysitter 8 an hour then if it is past 8:30 which is my two youngest's bedtime then it goes up to 13 an hour.

Well, I occasionally babysit 2 young kids [ages 5 and 8], and I usually get paid about like 12 dollars for watching them an hour.


I'd say, since these kids are young, that you should charge about 8-10 dollars an hour. Anything around there seems good to me.
