What do i charge for babbysitting

I want to start babysitting but I don't know what to charge. What do you think I should charge?

Start at 10 bucks a hour

Every state has childcare rates either hourly or per day, you should look up what the going rates our in your area and remember that these are certified centers and/or people so your going to have to come down a bit from what they charge, credentials=$$$.

That's interesting,

I just got laid off from a job that paid just $8.00. It would cost me a day's wages to hire you for just 4 hours. I had to pay taxes out of that $8.00.
($8 X 8 - taxes = $4 X $15) .

Something to think about, my first wife and I had twins, when they were babies we got a sitter, an experienced sitter at that. We went out for two hours in the afternoon shopping with plans to go to dinner that evening. When we got home from shopping I did not know who was crying the hardest - the sitter or the babies!! Took the sitter home and had dinner at home. After that we ALWAYS had TWO sitters with no more problems. Oh, before the twins were one year - we had another -three in one year! We needed those Two sitters.

$10.00 bucks an hr??? Holy cow! I'm gonna quit my job and start babysitting!

im with you on that one puglover

it really depends on how much kids, and the age group of the kids, if its a baby/toddler...about $15 an hr since their quite a handful...5 and up ish about $10 an hour

Depends How Many Hours You Working. But Yeh Id Say £10-£20

like about ten to twenty but it depends how good the children are
