Babysitter/ how much would you pay?

Question

I’m a 21 year old who works in a daycare for the past two years. I am CPR & first aid certified. How much would you be willing to pay me as a baby sitter? I charge about 15-20$ an hour depending on the circumstances. Is that too much?

Answer

No that’s more than reasonable. Never sell yourself short, or go cheap for others, and here’s why, Say you charged $500 a month, and you baby sat Monday-Friday from 7am to 5pm... you’d only be making $2.50 an hour which is WELL below minimum wage. Your not getting healthcare, 401k, but your taking care of the most precious thing to a parent. If someone offers you say $500/month then they are saying YOU and THEIR CHILD, are only worth $2.50/hr, in which case I wouldn’t be working for them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

That’s sounds reasonable to me.

Answer

I used to get paid around $15-$16 when I babysat. I also worked in a daycare and did babysitting on the side for extra cash. That was 10 years ago now, so I'd assume you are not asking for too much.
