How much should I get paid for babysitting a 6 year old?

My Rates

1-2 kids ~ $5.00/hour
Each additional child ~ $1.25/hour

*When you are babysitting a baby under 10 months old, you should ask to be paid a bit more than your regular charge, since you must give more attention, change the baby, feed the baby, and put the baby to bed.

I have an 11th month old- and I have a half-brother who is 10 years old. He helps babysitt when my son is at my parents house. The first time he helped, I got him a gift. It wasn't expensive ($9.00) but it was something I knew he would like. He's really into skatboarding and they have these mini collector skate boards that are actually kinda cool. So I got him a pack of 3 to add to his collections. Then, just a few nights ago, I was actually over there babysitting him for my parents, but he changed his first diaper- which he was totally scared to do. I made him to go Target with me to run errands, so I got him a set of Pokeman cards ($3.49) for changing the first diaper. I don't think I am going to start paying him cash for a little bit- just because he already gets an allowance, plenty of giftards, and for a $10 year old knows how to manage his $ almost better than I do as a 28 year old! I think the gifts we give him are fun for him and sort of meaningful- because he knows he got then for helping out.

yes you are being scamed minimum wage for 1 hr is 7.25 where i live so for 4 hrs you should get paid around 30$. But since you are younger you should get paid maybe 20$ a day.

It's pretty easy to take care a 6-yr-old. I think $10 is a bit less, now is 25.00 per day. Resonable price is $15.00 for half day.

honestly do you like the kid and enjoy doing it or just for the $ if $ ask for 15-20 because this is a good rate still where you are young. If you like spending time with the kid and its not too much hassle take the 10 and be happy.

DEPENDS ON THE KIND OF HEALTH IS IN AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO FOR THE CHILD. BUT I WOULD SAY AT LEAST $5 AN HOUR, MAYBE MORE.

Alright well are you working for 8 hours a day!? Or 4 hours!?

If you work for 4 hours a day you're getting paid 2.50 an hour.
If you work for 8 hours it's 1.25 an hour.

I dont know where you live but minimum wage in Ohio 6.85.

I would say 5 dollars an hour is reasonable for one kid if you're a 13 year old.

You should ask for douple that, $20 sounds a lot more fair.....if they where to send their child to a day care it would be $25 or more so, I think you are being scammed!

$10 for 4 hours sounds right and you're only 13!!!!

oh yah he is riping you off i would charge at least 25 a day!!
