You should be able to charge $7.00/hr for short term or $6.00 for longer times. You are young and that price may be pushing it. You might only get what ever minimum wage is. Try asking what they will pay you and the price they give you if it doesn't sound enough add a buck or two and ask if they will pay that.

right now i am babysitting for 2 kids too at first it was difficult but if they are that young they will not be too nervous and they will kinda run the whole night ( you just make sure it is safe ) they will show you thier games and you will have fun. If it does not work out try a different family

I think you should set a fair price as minimum wage ($5.15)during the week and paid hourly. On the weekends the price should go up to 6.15 due to the weekend is really your own time your saturday cartoons and hanging out with your friends time.I think that's fair.

Well it depends on where you live and how much min wage is in the state that you live in. The state I live in has a min wage of 7.93 an hour and it is normal to charge 5 bucks an hour per child if you are qualified..
