  • I need to know abt the going rate for a teenage babysitter?

    We have two boys, 1 yr & 3 yrs old and r looking for a baby sitter but don’t know what should be the appropriate rate that I should offer? We are looking for a teenage girl over 14. I would imagine that the rate should also depend on the responsibilities. 1. Rate during the day with 100% care. 2. Rate after bedtime when they can do homework, watch tv, or talk on the phone, etc. 3. If they need to spend the night in the spare room. Also, would the rate be age dependant?

  • The teenage usually don’t have any degree/training so $7.50 is plenty to watch a 1 & 3 year old.

  • If the baby-sitter is new at baby-sitting, I would say minimum wage and a tip if she does a good job with the kids and the house.

    If the baby-sitter has experience, between 7-10 bucks an hour is good. If you have more than three kids, you might want to consider boosting the price a bit. Again, if the baby-sitter does an oustanding job, consider a good tip.

    Remember, most people who work in day cares only get paid around minimum wage for watching a bunch of kids for several hours.

  • babysitting is a begginning job, a practice job if you will. i know that most kids would be exceptionally pleased to recieve six fifty and hour, which you know is usually around minimum wage.

    if the applicant has greater maturity or hardier requirements (ie cpr and first aid) you can always levitate the pay rate to fit the chosen girl.

    be wise, she is offering a service, if you are greedy about the funds she might receive i can see the child care not being a priority nor respect to you and your home.

  • It may be age dependant if they haven't got a job. Maybe $6-9 an hour
