How much to charge for babysitting?

The amount you charge will depend on your age, experience, the area you live in and the responsibilities of the job. If you have training in childcare or first aid then you may be able to achieve a higher rate. If you are not sure of how much to charge, ask your friends, talk to neighbours and parents about what they have paid their babysitters. This should give you a good idea of what the going rate is in your area.
