Typically, teen babysitters are not working a full day shift the way someone would at a grocery store.

Teens should be working at McDonald's, mowing lawns, and babysitting. They need money to buy clothes and save for college. My son had done all 3.

I usually arrive at 5pm to supervise takeout dinner for the kids while the parents get ready to leave and they get ome 11-12midnight. No cooking on my part.
New years eve is the best: $100 per hour up to 4 kids and I am always booked by Nov 1.
Occasional overnights when parents travel, depending on hours about $200 - 300.
It's been the same 4 families the past 3 years so everyone knows the deal.
Right, but unless you are Doogie Howser, I don't think you are a teen babysittter.
Did you not read: "As a comparison"? Meaning teens will make less than that, even in Chevy Chase, das a guide.
I will be happy to review reading and comprehension skills with you, for a tutoring fee.
And this thread is about teenage babysitters. How does it help to talk about what a professional gets paid? Oh wait, it doesn’t.

It varies - are the kids siblings or is it a situation where multiple families are dropping off their kids?
Do the kids mostly get along?
Will they be sleeping most of the time?
Does sitter need to prep dinner, give baths?
1 kid - $10-12
2 kids - $14-16
3 kids - $18-20

$10/HR is not enough.
I would start at twelve at the very least.
Not enough for who? A kid with no expenses? Give me a break.
She is using her time or you would have to stay home. Whether she has expenses is not a consideration and is none of your business. You pay what she charges or you find someone else.
The going rate in our neighborhood is $10/hour for 1 kid. So to say “that’s not enough” is wrong; it clearly is.
This is only in your neighborhood but in higher income neighborhoods it is $15 to $20/hr. It depends on where you live and the HHI of that neighborhood.
We are in Chevy Chase. High income. That’s what the high schools kids have all quoted me
Sorry to be clear - all have said $10/hour for one child.
