Babysitting - how much for 8 hours?

How much would you personally pay a 15 year old to babysit for 8 hours?

I babysit three times a week, 8 hours, 3 girls (3, 6 & 8)

Everyone says I'm not getting paid enough. ($40)

I'm not sure though..

    a 15 year old babysitter 3 times a week for 8 hours a day right?

    $40 a day so lets do the math $40 % 3 girls = $13 and change per girl a night so what is that an hour lets see $13 % 8 hours= i think like $1.50 an hour per girl i don't think that is en-of

    minimum wage is $8.00 a hour here in California so $8 x 8 hours = $64

    Source(s): math i hope i did it right

    $40 for 8 hours is not enough at all. I used to get paid $80-100 for 8 hours. Especially with 3 kids :)

    If it's a private babysitting it pretty much depends on generosity of those that pay you. I always appreciate help of my wonderful babysitter and pay her $20-$30 an hour to look after 2 kids. She does play with them though, helps with homework and the house is always tidy when I come back. If you believe yoh deserve to be paid more - talk to the people you work for, if they don't think so - walk away and don't waste your time. They obviously use you...

    Going rate here for 3 kids is $10/hour. You're being paid half that. But rates do vary place to place.
