How much should my mom get paid to take care of a 7 year-old boy for like 2 to 3 hours?

Question

Well that's it! I live in Indianapolis!

Answer 1

Average cost of daycare ranges from $20-$30 per day in the US. I'd charge a half day rate.

Answer 2

Going rate last time I heard was four or five bucks an hour. Does your mum have this little guy all the time or is it just an occasional babysitting job?

I'm real old I used to get 10 bucks a day working 10 hours babysitting.....and we thought that was good money then.

Answer 3

I pay $20 per day for my daughter and it doesn't matter if it is 1 hour or 8 or if she doesn't go. If she is scheduled to be at her care takers home I have to pay. It is only fair that way as they depend upon that money. Now if you know that it is only that amount of hours and it will never be more than I think $10 to $15 per day is fair.

Answer 4

Not sure if this helps.. But I think it depends on how much work this kid is going to be. The going rate is anywhere from $2-$5 an hour I believe.

Answer 5

It would depend on the circumstances. Are the boys' parents working? If so, she should get at least $2.00 an hour. If they're dining out she should get at least $5.00 an hour. If they've had a family emergency, she should donate her time and not charge them anything.

Answer 6

At least $5 an hr.. I used to get anywhere between 8-10 an hr..

Answer 7

About 10 bucks an hour if she provides a snack.

Answer 8

7 years? Depends on how much trouble he'd be to her, maybe $5 an hour.

Answer 9

depends on what she does during those two to three hours.
does she have to drive the kid to practices or something?
if so then mabye she should get like $12

if not, then probably like $8-10

Answer 10

$5 hr or she could just charge a set fee of like $15-20 per day
