[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$8/hour for what you are describing. $10/hour for independent babysitting for HS[/quote] But the teen is giving the same amount of time regardless of whether you are home or not. My daughters say they usually are asked to do more when they are helpers vs. when they babysit alone (because usually the kids go to bed at some point) My high schooler would not go out of her way to sit for less than $8 (because she makes more than that at her job) but my junior high child would.[/quote] I think your kids should have a minimum of $10/hr. Getting the one day American Red Cross Babysitting certification is also a smart thing. They should know that caring for a child is a very important responsibility. And so should the parents who hire them... and pay accordingly. [/quote] [/quote]
