im starting a babysitting buissness for weekends and school breaks and i want to know how much should i charge

Question

so far im saying $3 per hour & $2 per kid. is that a reasonable price. im 13 or should i charge lower or higher???

Answer 1

Suggestion: Since you are just starting in this, ask the parents how much they are willing to pay..........and whatever they say, agree to that price.

Then after you get some experience, you'll start to know what a good amount is to charge.

Answer 2

You should charge minimum wage. And $5
more for each additional child.
So if you watch 2 children for 2 hrs you would recieve $15.50 if min wage was $5.25
You can always give a discount to repeat customers if you want.
Babysitting children is a great responsibility
and should be taken seriously both by you and the parents of the children you babysit.

Some people may think that they get what
they pay for and if you charge too low a price, they may not think you are that good of a babysitter.

Answer 3

I think u r charging enough! I am 12 and charge the same thing.

Answer 4

Depends on if the people can afford that and if you think you are worth the job that you do.
