I don't put a set price, instead I leave it up for the parents to decide! Easier and me, and them.

I get my babysitting jobs mostly through my parents' friends. I charge $5 an hour if there's only one kid, but for each additional kid I add 50 cents an hour.

I actually don't have a set price and I let the family decide what they feel is right to pay me. I have only ever had problems because of that once when a family never paid me. That and other things made me not babysit for them again.

I don't like babysitting... but I need extra cash. Do you have any ideas??
Thanks, Sammy

Hey unicornninja,  is it possible for you to bump up your babysitting prices? If not try walking your neighbors’ dogs, having a bake or yard sale, and donating your old clothes to goodwill. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I think $8 an hour is a fair price, but with my neighbor who I babysit for her one kid once or twice a month, she does $10 an hour. Helen S.

Also, a little tip: if you yourself get asked by text/email/Facebook message, I suggest you use proper grammar and spelling. It'll show your clients that you take time and that you pride yourself in being proffesional. Also, don't specify that you charge per kid. What if one day you babysit 2 of 3 kids? Then you'll be out of money! I'd have a set payment no matter what. If you need anymore tips just come to me. (:
