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. [b]Doesn't matter if it is 1980 or 2015.[/b] 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. Stop acting like your snowflake deserve high pay. Ridiculous. [/quote]

It's called inflation.

A kid being paid $2/hour would have to work a lot more hours now to save up for something than they would have had to in 1980.

Do you think you should be paid the same amount for your job as you would have been in 1980?[/quote]
