Babysitting

I’m babysitting two 7 yr olds and a 4 yr old for probably six hours tonight. Their parents said I could name my price. What should I charge? I don’t wanna go too high or they’ll never hire me again or too low cause then they’ll expect that rate again. Any ideas?

What's your min wage there?
If you do $12 an hr that's approx $84 for the 7 hrs.

@StayGold I was gonna say ask for $100 considering how many kids you are watching but her number is probably better

@Ryanoliver2011 I was just doing a rough estimate. It all depends on what she thinks her work is worth. Looking after kids is hard sometimes. 😂

@StayGold Yeah, unless they're already sleeping when she arrives.

@Serenitree that's true. Again it was just a rough estimate. 🤷 I read it wrong anyways. I put it for 7 hrs and it's only 6 😂

@StayGold sometimes 6 hours can feel like seven... 😂

@Ryanoliver2011 😂 very good point!
