How much should I charge for babysitting?

I'm 15, but I have a lot of experience with children. I have 5 sisters, 4 of which are younger than me and 3 that are 4 or younger. I know how to change diapers, cook, bathe children(and babies) etc, since I was thought at a young age. I live in California which is a very expensive place to live. The city I live in is also more expensive than the average city in california. So how much should I charge?How much should I charge for babysitting?
$5 an hour for easy kids (older kids....kids you like more.....ones you have fun with ) and 7 for other kids (a family with multiple toddlers or rude children)How much should I charge for babysitting?
I think you should charge like a regular job. Charge 5 Dollars a hour. Have fun.How much should I charge for babysitting?
$5/hr is a good rate for babysitting. I think babysitting is pretty much the same rate everywhere. our babysitter charges $5/hr - some girls around here charge $8-10 but I don't think anyone has hired them, I think most of the people have just paid an extra $2 ($12/hr) and have just hired a nanny instead. the babysitters that charge $5 seem to have more luck!



Not to mention the parents who hire you will refer you to their friends and you will get more babysitting jobs that way!How much should I charge for babysitting?
$10 per hour or do a flat rate of $50How much should I charge for babysitting?
$5/hr sounds like great money for babysitting. The most I'd charge is like $7, I wouldn't go up to like 9-10 that's just kinda crazy. My friend babysit for a summer and she got paid $100-$150 every two weeks. I thought it was pretty decent, but there wasn't much to the kids, they were pretty Independent.
