This is one of those harder questions to answer, but that's mostly because the answer is partly based on opinions and most of all, variables of your situation. First of all, how much do you trust your daughter to be alone? If you think that your daughter may be some trouble to the babysitter, it may be wise to offer more if you'd like the chance for the babysitter to appreciate the mutual benefits of the job you have given him/her. If you'd like to pay the babysitter as little as possible, it's probably good to hear how much they would like. If it's too low, they might refuse on it. However, if they're closer to you, give them a payment you consider worthy that won't interfere with your relationship. I think you should also examine upon the maturity of the babysitter to determine their payment. Lastly, after they have finished their job, ask your children how it was, what did the babysitter do that they especially liked, and ask the babysitter if they did everything you asked. If you are very satisfied with the answers, $8.50 per hour seems to be on the high end. If you're just plain satified, average payment is about $7.00 per hour. And on the low end, the payment is about $5 or $6 per hour. Otherwise, the decision is comepletely up to you.

Actually I used to be a preschool teacher and with 7-10 kids it matters what age they are. The state does have a ratio as to the amount of kids a person is allowed to watch at one time, but again it all matters on there age. I used to teach 2 and 3 year old and yes it is hard and you need to have a lot of patience.

As a former babysitter I can say it's no walk in the park but it can be done.
Have plenty of crayons, colors, books, toys, and some safe programs on tv. Find some age related activities for the kids to do.
Remember nap time is your friend.

It would be hard for anyone to watch 7 or more kids. You would have to be a superbaby sitter to do that.
Now, if some of the kids are older and can help out with the younger ones, it's not so bad.

According to the law, one person can not watch 7 -10 kids. You have to have at least one more person to help. Plus if you are wanting to watch newborns, there can only be 2 newborns per one person.

Do you mean 7-10 year olds or 7-10 quantity? It depends on how old you are.

I babysit for parents that live in my neighbourhood and so far I haven't had any difficulty. They are old enough to know right from wrong yet young enough that you are clearly dominant. If they try to fight with you take stuff away from them like the T.V. or being allowed to go outside and hang out with their friends.

Not sure where you are, but around here you need to be licensed to watch that many kids. Thats not called babysitting but child care at that point.

It's definitly hard to watch that many kids on your own.You'll have to worry about feeding them, keeping them entertained,E.T.C.
But if there's a freind to help you babysit ask them for help.
But remember they might want some of the money to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
