I'm getting paid $25 a day to babysit a 2 and 4 year old for ten hours.?
In the summer, I will have their older brother as well. What is a fair price to ask for babysitting this many children for ten hours a day? We live in a very small town (no stoplight, just a flasher, lol). I want to know either what you currently pay in childcare or what you currently charge and what size of a city do you live in. Also, the 4 year old has behavioral problems and the 2 year old is not potty trained. I want to know if anyone has ever been charged more per day because your child needed more from the provider, and if so, how much more. I really appreciate your help. I want to provide loving and good care for these kids, but since its requiring so much more than I expected, I want to be paid fairly.
If you hired a 13 year old babysitter how much money would you pay them.?
To help me with my 4 kids while I'm at home, I would pay a 13yr around $6hr. I wouldn't leave a 13yr home alone with my kids. I pay my babysitter who is 18yrs, 12hr when she comes. Where she's there during the day she only has my two little ones and when she comes at night, she only has my two olders ones. I think if you are alone with the kids, watching them, entertaining them, feeding them etc, you should get about $8hr. If she's there with you, about $5-6hr. $20 dollars for 10hrs isn't fair in my opinion. Best Wishes =]
If I get paid $9 an hour, work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, how much will I make monthly after taxes?
didnt you take math in school????what a question wow.
How much do you pay per hour or per day for babysitting?
I babysit kids in my home. I love it. If you have the patience and right attitude it's an awesome way to stay at home with your own kids. Actually, now that my own kids are in school, I enjoy it even more. I don't have to take my time from my own kids for them and it helps my attitude. Anyway...to answer your question. I charge $15/day if the child is potty trained and $18/day if they are still in diapers. That is up to 9 hours (parents 8 hr shift plus drive time). If longer than that they pay an extra $2/hr. I am just under average for my area. I did this so I could get parents to come here in the first place just due to competition. In August I'll be upping my price though to $20/day and $18/day. I live outside of a big city and I know they are much more expensive. $500-$600 per child/month. Because each area is so different I would suggest going through the phone book or newspaper and calling around to get prices. I did this at first. You may have to pretend to be a parent looking for daycare prices. Ask if they give a discount for more than one child, ask if they provide snacks and lunch and if they do is it included in the daycare price or is it extra? If you'll do preschool also ask those questions as well. I charge a $50/ yr fee for supplies for preschool then I don't charge anything else, preschool is just included in the daycare price. Ask about sick days and vacation days. I get paid on major holidays even though there is no daycare, Christmas, Thanksgiving, (not Easter as that isn't a daycare day) 4th of July, Memorial and Labor day. If I take off other days throughout the year I don't get paid. I have the right though to take up to 2 weeks during the year either together or separate. ( I need this for our own vacation as well as Dr appointments etc. that I don't want to haul daycare kids to.) I also have my contract set up so it's a flat fee whether they are there or not. This makes the income more stable which is important when you have a parent who is gone 1-2 days a wk. and you are holding a spot for that child but not getting paid for it. Good luck, I hope this helps.
Babysitting rate: $10 per day for 6-8 hours a day?
A friend of mine agreed that $10 a day would be good to babysit her 13 1/2 month old son. Im a stay at home mom for now and i have a 16 1/2 month old son too. We had set up that i would be the permanent babysitter but then that same week i found out i had to move. Im still only 10-15 minutes away from her so it's not such a big deal. Today is the 3rd time i have taken care of him. The 1st day was a last minute call, actually just like today and the 2nd time, and she gave me $20 for the 8-9 hours from around 2pm-11:15pm. The 2nd time was for 6 hours until just after 8pm and today is from 7am to just after 3pm when she gets out of work. She's really not a buddy friend of mine either. We met up once at my place for a play-date and a few months after wards i took care of him for the first time. So she's only been over to my place to "hang out" twice in 1 year. Other than that it was just emailing and texting at least once a week. She hasn't paid me for Wednesday or today i assuming she will when she picks him up. Am i being taken advantage of? I really feel like it. The last time i took care of him she said that she could take my son one day "that's what friends are for..." she said in the text. She feels that im just at home anyway but i don't trust anyone with my son only my dad and his girlfriend that live around the ares.
How much should a 16 year old girl be payed for babysitting two boys (age 9 and 6) for 8 hours a day?
At sixteen, you should get minimum wage per hour. Why watch someone's kids if you can get payed better elsewhere. She would probably pay at least $60 a day to put them in daycare, and private sitters are suppose to be more expensive. 16 years old: minimum wage/hr 17:$8/hr 18: $9 College Aged: $10 College Graduate/older adult: $11 to $15 I make $12 an hour and I am a grad student. I would be fine with $10 an hour. Because minimum wage is so low, I personally wouldn't work for less than that, even though it is a lot of hours and can seem expensive. Your asking for $6 an hour was more than fair, and she should be happy to find someone to be willing to do it for that cheap.
I babysit 3 kids for 5 hours a day, how much should i get?
No, $20 isn't very much, but it really all depends. Are their parents struggling, working hard, and depending right now on you because you're family and they trust you. Or - do you notice that they don't manage their money very well, and seem to be going out, having fun, while you're at home taking care of their kids? Do they reward you in other ways, such as are they a good influence on you - do they listen to you when you're having problems, help you with homework, life issues, etc. Do they seem to really appreciate all you're doing, and feel bad because right now they can't give you more. How many hours a day do you watch them, and how many days a week? Do you do a good job? A good babysitter is expensive. You just need to try to figure out in your head how much they're making - are they doctors making great salaries, or are they working at Walmart barely making minimum wage? They're family - someday you may need to lean on family too - and feel grateful that you once were kind enough to sort of volunteer your time - at least you're making something - something is better than nothing, plus you're gaining great experience in how to be responsible, care for others, and help others. When you turn 16, you can get a better job making more money. Keep it in perspective, ok? But - if they really are taking advantage of you, you should speak up. Talk to others in your area who babysit, or pay someone to babysit their kids and find out what is common in that area for someone your age and for the income level of the parents you're sitting for. Hang in there...........and try to enjoy spending time too with the kids. They may look up to you, which is sort of cool. Building a nice bond you'll treasure forever.
Is $15 per day reasonable for babysitting a 9 month old?
Absolutely. That's a good rate. Typically, a daycare will charge a minimum of $25 for one that age. Of course, in-home care should be cheaper than a daycare. So that's seems like a good rate - you could charge a little more, even, and still be good.
Can a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old be left home alone for 8 hours?
Well, if you’re mature enough to write a well-composed Quora question—and you certainly have—I’d say, yes, mom can safely leave you two alone for 8–10 hours.But is that what you’re really asking?You have school, right? So, you’re what’s called “latch key kids.” Presumably you arrive home around 3PM. Doctor Mom doesn’t come home until midnight. So you and the sib are alone for the late afternoon and evening. You fix your supper.Sure, you can handle it:You’ve demonstrated maturity.You get “check in” calls from mom.The kitchen has enough food stocked to feed 2 teens. I.e., a lot.You have good people around if disaster strikes.And, no, mom’s not doing anything illegal, but……you’re really lonesome for her and would like someone to tell her:“Dear overworked Doctor Mom, you’re clearly raising great kids. It comes through your 14 year old’s adult-level words here. And something else comes through behind those words:They want you.They’re teens. It can be the coolest, most wonderful time in human life…or not. But you’re missing it and they’re missing you. You’re undoubtably giving your patients good ‘outcomes.’ What outcomes are you giving your teens?”Should we be left alone for 8–10 hours?That, I believe, is the Question-behind-the-Question.Why? Fast forward to next morning. As they’re gulping down breakfast, you appear. Though tired from your demanding work, you’re eager to give them a kiss and wish them a good day. Some quick chat and they’re out the door. That’s the last time you’ll see them that day..In 24 hours you’ve spent maybe half an hour with them..Thanks to Liana Roxanne Clark for providing a Doctor Mom’s point of view.Photo: “I am so glad you cut your hours, mom. You were just a voice on the phone.’”Photo: “Sweetheart, attempt to look cool like your mom.”Photo: “The new clinic job doesn’t pay as much, but I like this kind of pay!”
