How much should I charge for babysitting?

it should depend on your experience...

when i first started babysitting i charged $5 a kid an hr

then i became first aid and cpr certified then i raised it to $10 a kid per hr

Well, since their younger you should probably charge a dollar or two more and it also depends when you are babysitting , if it is in between meal times or later at night . Also if you will have to do any extra care and tell the parents that you have been paid that price then ( $13 and $20 ) ask them if there comfortable paying that much and if not up the price or bring the price down it all depends . I'm also trying to find out how much i need to pay and all that stuff because I am new at babysitting too.

I think it depends on how old you are, for experience, and how long you're usually babysitting for. I've babysat two kids before for $15 an hour. Every extra hour was $5, but she was never really gone more than three hours and I was a friend of the family.

My sister has been doing daycare in northern WI for over 10 years and she charges $3.00 per kid per hour and $4.00 per infant per hour. She uses the cost of meals as a tax deduction and if the child needs diapers and wipes etc then the parents must provide them. If you have any CPR or EMT training it is definitely a plus. I'm sure it varies somewhat depending on where you live too.

$5 an hour,

thats what i do.

bt they have 3 children

and would stay out the whole night.

so i end up with about 100 flat.
