Is that all you charge?

$100 a day in cash for a nice, easy kid. Go higher if your kid requires more attention or has to be given medication.

Will you do this, OP?

If it's a friend and just a couple of days, I would do a babysitting swap. Take her kids one Saturday and a couple of Friday nights or something.

I would offer between $10-12/HR.

You need to agree on an hourly rate.

It sounds like your daughter will go to this woman's house. Which is more of a home day care type of arrangement. $10 an hour maybe. If the mom wants to take the kids somewhere fun, like out for ice cream or something, cover your daughter's expenses in relation to the activity.

I think that's a good number also. It's enough to mean something and still a good deal.

I agree, it's an hourly rate that depends on where you live. I pay $16/hour for a teenager and $21/hour for a nanny, but that's for 2 kids.

Simply ask her what her hourly rate would be. Maybe she wants to do it for free. Who knows until you ask her?

I have a 7 year old and was going to pay someone to watch my kid. The lady will have her own 2 kids at home. How much should I offer her given it will be all day, for 10 hours, just for a day of two while my child is between school and camp.
