What is the average for babysitting?

Question

What is the average for babysitting? I babysit my 2 year old nephew for $60 a week from 9am-3pm. The mother is going to be working longer now from 6am-3pm, Should i go up any? I keep him 5 days a week.

Answer 1

I would! I have a 2 yr old son that goes to daycare from 7-5 and they feed him lunch but I still have to feed him breakfast in the morning and I pay 90 a week. Your feeding him breakfast, snacks, lunch and doing everything else throughout the day. My niece watched my son for 2 wks during the summer and I paid her the same amount that I paid my daycare. You could always call around to daycares and see how much they would be charging and charge a bit less than they are.

Answer 2

if the mother has enough money to give you extra then charge her extra but if she had to work longer for a reason as in she needed the money to pay some over due bills then leave it alone for a while then god will take care if it from there if he believes that you have been working hard and you deserve extra then he bless you and the mother of the child you babysit for you will get what you deseve.

Stay away from Cash Create and other survey Web sites!

It's a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.

If you choose to get suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

At least $7 per hour.
A proffesional charges $15 per hour.
I would ask for more money- your making $2.00 an hour right now........ and will be making less soon. You should be making at least $200 per week.
