UPDATE: so Im only charging $20 since she is my cousin & she going through some hard time THANK YOU ALL. I posted anonymously cause Sometimes theres some raw coments & rude ppl but y'all who commented had helped me a lot! HAVE A NICE THANKSGIVING ♡♡

Answer

I would charge $10 an hour. (and that's low compared to daycares)

Answer

Depends on where you live i guess but $20 a day here is average.

Answer

she prob meant $20/hr. I would clarify.  $20 per day @ 8 hours is $.40/hour. That would blow my mind.  Insulting would be a gross understatement.

Answer

Is it a baby or a toddler. If tour providing meals it should definitely be more. Either way I would charge at least $150 a week. Around here that’s cheaper than any daycare and most baby sitters. She’s prolly hoping since your family you won’t charge her much.

Answer

Seems a bit low to me, but I have never paid a babysitter, since I am a soon to be first time mom. However, when I babysat in high school which was over 10 years ago I charged 5 dollars an hour and no one considered that high. I dont know what the going rate is now.

Answer

In my area, baby sitters make on average $15 hour and nannies about $20/hr plus bonuses, and mileage . I know it’s your cousin and you want to help but $20 a day to take care of a child for 8 hours is really low balling yourself. I’d at least ask double that.

Answer

Here 15$ an hour is average lol but since it’s your cousin and you get to spend time with her baby, and the baby gets to grow up and love you 20$ is perfect :) ❤️

Answer

I paid my babysitter which is a good friend too, 20 a day. And 30 on the weekends. So average of 100 to 120 a week

Answer

Where I live it’s about $20-$30 a day for daycare, and they provide the food.

Answer

I babysat for a close friend who was having a hard time for $100 a week. I provided food for the toddler as well.
