12 year olds CAN babysitt they need to take a cpr first aid class and maybe have a sibling or family they have taken care of! $10 and hour for a $30 minimum (no 1 hour $10 deal) for 1 or two kids like for a date or occasionally If the 12 year old will be doing it all summer then she should only be paid 5 or 6 $ per hour

I'd say 5-10 dollars an hour for one child.
So at $5/hour, if you babysit one child for 3 hours, you get $15... so it is worth your time (as a 12 year old).
Also, does the babysitter do extra work if possible? For example, if you are watching an older child (say 7-ish) who can pretty much take care of himself, you can do a few chores around the house such as dishes and picking up toys. Then I'd say $7/hour is reasonable.

A 12 year old should be able to do basic babysitting skills and will have a little babysiting experience. So you should give about $5 or $6 an hour.

depends on where you live, and also the ages and number of children they are watching. I'd say a 12 year old should make anywhere between $5 and $8 bucks an hour if they have actual experience.

I think a 12yr old is much too young to be a baby sitter these days. 12 yr olds get abducted frequently, they need to be watched themselves.
