I assume the kids were sleeping, so it's probably not worth much to watch them sleep. But if you want more money, ask for it. I doubt many people would take 24 dollars to sit alone all night with two kids. Those are really bad hours.

well you are only 11. that's only 3 years older than the 8 year old. maybe they think the 13 year old is a little more mature and does a little bit better job, since she is older.

That's defanately not right. If they asked you to babysit again, I would tell them how much they need to pay you right up front. Maybe they paid you just $24 because the children were sleeping? I don't know, but you should have gotten paid more than that since it was such late hours.

Oh hell yeah. Thats insulting. Thats 3 dollars and hour.
You need to discuss this with parents before they leave you in the house. This is how much you charge, if they dont want to pay it, then they will have to find another sitter.
5 dollars is cheap sitting, 10 is average. 3 is an insult to your ability.

I would tell the parent that you won't babysit again if you don't get the same wages as the other babysitter because you both do the same job.

stop babysitting for those people. That is way too low, you should've got paid a higher price than that.
