How much to pay a babysitter?

If whoever it is a friend or close friend i would offer least 75$ bc you low income and you need money to run on till your payday

My teens charge $40 for an overnight. No matter how many or what age.

Woooow. That’s WAY too fucking much. No way.

Wow are they crazy that is to much for just going to see a movie… Try to find someone else…

150 for a few hours? Oh hell no that is way too damn much

50 at the most because it’s two kids

I would think no more than $10 per hour, per kid, at the most.

Too much…i pay $200 a wk for 1. A movie night should be no more than 40_45

Yes. That is what most pay for a week. Being gone for a few hours should not cause more than i would say 10 an hour for those ages. Someone needs a bill paid or needs party money and trying to take advantage of you

I will watch your children for free. Every mother needs a break or time for herself. Yes that price is high. No I would not pay.

Are u in jamaica ,trini or guyana cause u surely cant be paying 150 usd for 8 hrs or less

You being a teen mom that is involved and concerned, and also mature enough to know and ask super questions, I’m sorry that person tried to take advantage. I wish the mom asking was local. I’d do it for free. And encourage her to buy pop corn!

For a few hours? No way that’s way to much!!!

Id say like 20 per kid for a few hours geez id never pay even close to 100… 40 to 50 bucks max for a movie That’s a Few hours. Totally reasonable and hard enough to pay for being a mommy

Date nights are $10 an hour so for a movie ??? 150 she’s trying to rip you off

For one night definitely too much x a couple of hours should be 20 or thereabouts

Do not pay that. Not even half of it

$5/hr per child seams reasonable

WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH! if you’re gone 3 hours or so I’d say no more then $50

$150.00 just to keep them for a little while? Yes that’s way to much.

Lol I dont even pay that a week for 2 kids

A friend drove across the city to watch mine. I have 4 under 3 so they are difficult. We were gone 4 hours, I paid her $50 for her time and then an extra $10 for the gas. $150 is more than most people pay per week for a babysitter

Aleast 25 hell i keep 4 kids and only 20 thats for 9 or 10 hrs

:joy::joy::joy: for like 2-3 hours max? They’re asking way way too much. $50 an hour? Idk what minimum wage is where you are but I’d go like a couple dollars more an hour. Maybe $15 an hour since you have 2 kids.

I babysit 1-8 year olds $30 just pack what they need.

Shit bring em here lol I’ll watch them for $150 lol

But yes, that’s insane

I pay $10 an hour when I pay for a sitter but I only have 1 kiddo

I charge 20$ a hour i have a potty trained 3 year old and a 10month old ,

20 a kid and that’s good, this person must’ve bumped their head :woman_facepalming:

Hell I need to quit my job and babysit. 20 an hr is doable in my opinion. Will it be during the day or night? Think about if they will be asleep or active the whole time.

I get paid $200 for 45 hrs a week to babysit… They are robbing you. Do not pay them that!!!

The baby I keep is 4 months and have been keeping her since she was 6 weeks. This is a colic baby too. $200 is around what youd pay in day care for 40 hrs a week. But this baby gets ALL my attention and I buy my own supplies.

Do not pay $150!!!
