I have been asked to babysit a 5 month old little boy in his home, while his mom is there, unpacking things from their recent move. It will be for three days, 4-5 hours a day, and she will provide lunch for me. She told me to give her a price, but I haven't sat for money before, only kept my neice and nephew as favors for my sister. Experienced sitters, please give me some help here! What do ya think is fair?

I agree, it really depends where you are in the country. For a periodic sitter I pay $5 per hour (in Idaho). If you know that its going to be a set number of hours you could give her a quote per day or for the full job (like $20 per day up to 5 hours then you get the full $20 even if you're only there for 3 hours; or $75 for all three days even if its longer than 5 hours per day). If you're in a big city like New York I've seen people on Answers who quote $10 or more per hour for babysitting.

Depends on the family and their financial situation. How old are you? My sister is 16 and she is getting $7 an hour to take care of a 5 and 9 year old girls.

It depends on the area, I live in a small town in IL, & $2/hr per kid for a teenager babysitting who is not licensed is the average price. So I'd charge $2/hr & it's great for you cuz she's making & providing your lunch.

between 5 and seven money an hour. the cost is settled between the sitter and the ascertain and would no longer be the comparable for all of us. adventure ought to enable you to good purchase somewhat extra.
