Hey,

Definitely go for $6 an hour. If they think its too much then they will bargain down. Fingers crossed they will make the first offer for something more.
How exciting for you! Congratulations!
Good luck darl. =]

Do you have an option with how much you want to get paid?
Since there's 2 of them and they're quite young, go for $6.
and if they happen to give you more, then good for you. :)

The people i babysit for give me $8 because they have 4 kids but i think that whatever they give you take and if they ask then 5-6 is good. If they give you more then that then just say that its to much. good luck!

well from all my babysitting experiences (it's been 7 years since i've started) no one really asks you how much you want to get paid. they just kind of pay you.
but if they do ask then yeah about 5 or 6 dollars an hour is a good wage. i babysit 2 times a week for 10 hours each day and get 6 dollars an hour.

good luck!
