Maybe i always figured that a 14 year old girl doesnt have that much savvy to one know
How much to charge or two be bold enough to ask for a higher rate.

Probably $2 per hour per kid. So $36, next time I’d find a family member or

That makes sense. I think the going rate for babysitters is ridiculous so I

This isn't hard people, ask the babysitter what they charge and pay that

In your experience does that come in higher or lower than you expect?
bluecougar1985

It's almost always lower than what many here say they pay
CSoul
12/8/18 9:18am
Yeah, I thought it would be lower, and closer to what it should be.

That's ridiculous, the kids that do aerating are that age. You don't randomly

Never had an issue. I assume they just ask their parent if they don't know.

This, up to $6/hour. No sense paying them minimum wage for a job usually done

Are you saying it caps at $6 per hour? I was telling my wife I was good with

I usually cap at $6, but if the kids are sleeping, I think you're fine. It also

This seems much more reasonable than breaking the bank for one night.

My wife said that you should pay 8-10 an hour. So $48-60.

Especially if they are a good babysitter and you want them back.

I am a pretty cheap/frugal guy. But holy crap, you guys are cheapskates.

This seems as reasonable as Seattle’s $15 per hour minimum wage.

12/8/18 9:45am
Totally agree. Minimum wage is $9. 3 kids that age worth more than min wage

Babysitting supply doesn't work that way. Their available time has to match

I usually don’t offer compensation but make sure to remind the sitter that it’s a service opportunity

With 5 kids we usually hire 2 babysitters (siblings)

I asked my wife and she said $15/hour and then her jaw dropped when she saw the results.

Going on dates is great, but it’s not a right, and you shouldn’t rip off teenage girls to do it

What other jobs are available to a young teen? If under 16. Nothing. If 16 they
