I wouldn't do more than $5/hour for a 10 year old that you have to supervise.

Teens get $10-$15/hour.
Adults supervising kids, particularly teachers, can command $20/hour.

If you may the tween more, think about the shock she'll get when she really has to work for her living...
we don't want to raise a generation of entitled brats (more than we're doing already!).

$10 to $15??? That is more than minimum wage![/quote]

Yep, because they're caring for your children, not serving you coffee.[/quote]

Give me a break. My daughter is 13 and she charges $25 for a 3 hour date night and is thrilled to receive that much. Kids too young  to work do not need to make $15/hr. That is insane. Most of my daughter's time babysitting is watching tv/on her iphone as the kids sleep. This isn't preschool.

OP, my daughter was a mother's helper at 11 and 12. She was given between $3-5/hr depending on the time and family. She was happy no matter what. If a mom just had a baby, she would do it for free. She loves kids. She doesn't need tons of money. Doesn't matter if it is 1980 or 2015. Young kids are not owed nor need a large amount of money. Most kids did it for free to get referrals and jobs for babysitting when I was a kid. [b]Stop acting like your snowflake deserve high pay. Ridiculous.[/b] [/quote]

I don't think my snowflakes deserve high pay. I think those who help me out with my "snowflakes" deserve decent pay.
