Babysitting Basics

What to Charge?

Have you wondered what a fair price is? Are you scared that you might charge too much? Here are some suggestions for finding the perfect rate. Most girls charge $5 to $15 an hour, depending on the number and age of the children they will be sitting. The more experience and training you have the better paid you will be. The best way to find your rate is to ask around your neigborhood. Ask your friends how much they charge or even ask your parents how much they would charge. Some babysitters take whatever a parent offers but its better if you have a rate already set.
