A neighbor asked if I could babysit his son today when hes working. Monday through Friday from about 9 to 5. I have a one year old myself and his son I think is probably about three. So what should I charge? I never had a real babysitting job so Im clueless

That's not babysitting! That's DAYCARE! He should pay you about $200 per week.
Also, be sure that you agree about how you are paid. He may want to try to deduct the money he pays you as a childcare expense on his taxes. If he does, you will ned to report the money as income.
Good Luck!

Reasonable Price For Babysitting
2016-10-29 07:43:43 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I babysit for a living and I charge $15 a day for an average 8 hour day per child,but this is on a 5 days a week basis. If just casually sitting, I would ask for $4 an hour. It is reasonable and affordable,as well as making you some extra cash :)

Depends on how close you all are, what he can afford, and how bad you need the money. He can put his child in daycare for a little over 100 a week. See what he can afford and see if that amount will help you. I wouldn't do it for 50 a week, but maybe 100 a week. If it was a friend then I would charge less. Either way it's not a lot of money 100 a week would only be 2.5 an hour, but just see what he can afford.

Depends what part of the country you're in. You can ask your parents how the cost of living where you are compares to the rest of the country. Also, how much money do your neighbors have? Let's look at their alternatives, and you can price your services accordingly. Where I live (and the cost of living is fairly low here), summer day camp for a school aged child for about 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, is about $150. This breaks down to $30 a day, or $5 an hour. I think $10 per hour for two children is reasonable for you, especially if you plan to do lots of activities with them (and not let them veg in front of the TV). When we have a babysitter for our 5-year-old, we give her about $7 per hour.

I babysit, and here are my rates:
My Rates
1-2 kids ~ $5.00/hour
Each additional child ~ $1.25/hour
*When you are babysitting a baby under 10 months old, you should ask to be paid a bit more than your regular charge, since you must give more attention, change the baby, feed the baby, and put the baby to bed.
Have Fun!
