How much should i charge for babysitting a 2 yr old?

Question

ok here goes my neighbor which i have know for about 2 months just recently had me babysitt her 2 yr old saturday from 1pm - 12am and she only paid me $40 bc that is what she use to pay her friend to babysit her. I feel like that is a long time to babysit a kid, dont get me wrong she is good but that is just a little bit of money for a whole lot of time. What do you think she should me hourly? and how would u go about telling her you dont think she is paying u enough in a nice way?

Answer 1

i would charge like 10 dollars and hour I babysit 4 kids and i make a lot of money i just told my neighbor that i thought i needed to be making more money than i was and she asked how much i wanted and hour and i said 10 dollars and she said ok and paid up

Answer 2

I pay my nanny $30 an afternoon yet i understand that is on the low end yet I figured that on account that they have been going to her domicile and he or she did not ought to bathe my domicile on a similar time or do my laundry than that replaced into honest. Nannys that circulate on your place and are required to do all your place projects and run your errands can charge $10 an hour yet like I mentioned they are going to be on your place. on account which you're protecting them 14 hrs however i might say $40

Answer 3

my babysitter i pay her about a 100 a week for 4 hours a day so i think that a great trade off now if she started cleaning the house , I would pay here a 1OO more a week.

Answer 4

I think a fair amount is 5-7 dollars an hour. That is really cheap for only 11 hours.

Answer 5

Simply state your amount from the beginning, before accepting... I personally would charge $10/hr (that is what it is usually being charged right now).

Baby-Sitting might be easy, but it envolves a lot of responsibility!! You deserve more....Good-Luck!!!
