  • Answer:

    I am 15 (not a professional at babysitting of course) I recently babysat my next door neighbours 2 children for 4 hours. They gave me £20 which I must say, is brilliant!

10 dollars is minimum

I babysit often (2-3 times a week) and get $8 an hour for one child, $9 an hour for two, $10 an hour for three kids, and so on. That's with certification in babysitting,CPR, and first aid as well as three years experience. I would recommend starting at $10 an hour for you with an additional $1 an hour per additional child. Good luck!
