How much should I ask for? Babysitting 9 month old?
-
I just got a babysitting job babysitting a 9 month old boy. I'm 19 years old. I have a part time job at a restaurant at night. And during the day I'll be babysitting. I meet with her today. I'm nervous! How much should I ask her to pay me an hour?

Answer:
See how it goes. It's often better not to set a wage, actually. Once I baby sat a child (he was 2) for a few hours and I got eighty dollars for it. However, if you prefer setting a wage, talk about it with the parents. Take his age, personality, and siblings into account. Since it sounds like it is just him, I would ask for about 6 or 7 dollars an hour, give or take. ( Babies tend to sleep a lot, but also cry and whine. Since he's 9 months old, he will most likely realize his parents are gone. In this case, it might be best to bring tether toys and books to distract him)

£5/£6 an hour - that's what I get paid for looking after 2 children in the day time when they're awake
It depend where you are, in the South East of England you get about £25 for an evening or £50 for the day. But it also depends on the age, and how frequently! so about £5 an hour? Also ask the lady what she would want to pay you, this usually goes down well, they like you and you don't say way less than they are expecting, if it is much less than you want then you can always say!
