Between 3 and 7 dollars an hour for each child would be acceptable. The older the less you should charge since toddlers need a lot more attention than say a 8 or 9 year old.

You are going to be looking after 2 children, one of them just a baby, don't let anyone rip you off.
People definitely don't pay enough for people to watch over their own flesh and blood. $5/hour is too little. Find out what minimum wage is and ask for that. Here it's $8.-something
Omg, $2/child? Don't think much of your children, do ya?
Also, depends on if they are sleeping or not. See how cheap people are about their own kids?

I charge 5.00 but I make the kids snacks and Chicken Noodle Soup or Mac and Cheese. I would go with 5.00 no more since you do not cook. I mean that is okay but I would not try to charge them anymore than 5.

You left out how many children, how long you will be watching them and if you have any experience. I would say about $7 per hour or $40 for an evening (6 hours max).

We pay $2/hour/kid for a babysitter of your age. So, if I read it right, you are babysitting a 1 year old and a 9 year old, so that would be $4/hour.

it depends on how many kids ...are they one AND nine? 7$ an hour would be reasonable since there's no other commitments...my sitter's business charges 7$hr she's older than me and watches more kids..has all her certificates and licenses cpr train...etc..ask for 10 and expect to get 7 or 8...
