I care for my best friends kids while she works. They’re 3 and 5. One days the 5 year old is at school most of the day, I charge 20. One days I have both all day I charge 30. I provide food
Not for your own sister. But I hear they get 50 an hour hands on.

$40 an hour plus food is nuts. Is it possible your sister doesn’t want to do it and that’s why she’s got these outrageous demands?

No, $40 an hour is way overboard. Most babysitters charge $10 or for a work day $50. They also provide the simple meals.
$40 an hr is just ridiculous
Around here it’s usually between 15 - 20 a day

Me and my friend do 20 max. Usually gone 3 hours. Or what we do is for date night she will watch my kids and I will watch hers free. I provide food we switch off cuz our kids eat the same thing. But yeah $40 an hour I didnt even charge that for 6 kids for 6 hours. I got $40 for 6 kids for 6 hours that’s insane!!!
Its costs 500 here for 2 kids for 30 hours in daycare for a week. Geeze and they provide the food
I would watch my own nieces & nephews for free

I get $30 per day per kid, or $20 per kid if there are multiple. All food must be provided.
Ok first off she is your sister so for her to expect that is kind of ridiculous. But usually $20 a day is what is normal where I live… $20 a day and bring lunch or $30 a day and get lunch made.

No way to much for one child
Is it for date night or for work? Cause when my kids dad and I would go out when they were smaller we would give our sitter 40-60 dollars for like 2-3 hours. However we paid our sitter while at work 1200 a month for 12 hours a day 5 days a week. It took us 1 and a half hours each way to work. So just depends I never even if gone an hour would give my sitter less than 40 though

Wow, that’s highly unreasonable. Especially coming from a family member. I am a nanny, I get paid $18 an hour. When I babysit for people I charge anywhere from $10-$20 depending on how far I have to travel and how many children, but it usually settles around $15 an hour. For a family member I would offer a flat rate for a day. It depends on how long and how often she’s going to keep your child. Providing your own food, is not unreasonable at all. Especially if she doesn’t have children of her own.
Hold on… your sister?! No. No. I dont even pay my babysitter that much. Unless youre rolling in hella money your sister is off her rocker.

Minimum wage if taxing it and coming to your home.
If you are taking your child to her home and fulltime then anywhere between $150 and $225.00 per week. Check the going rate for your area.
This is because in her home she can watch 1 or 2 other kids depending on child care laws. In your home she is now your child’s personal nanny and can not watch other kids to lesson the monetary burden on you

I pay 160 a week at a real daycare…that’s insane!
Hell no, not at all reasonable. Unconscionable from a close family member. She needs a wake up call, lol…unless she’s Mary Poppins and your kid is Damian, she’s way out of line.
No that’s highway robbery
I watch my niece for free and provide the food and anything else she needs! Your sister sounds a little greedy.

Not 40$ an hour unless she’s giving him a crazy epic experience I charged my siblings 10-15$ an hour when they asked me to babysit but most of the times I didn’t even take the money (I was a teen back then and appreciated the money)
Wow. I babysit at my house. I do $3 per hour per child. I’ve never charged anything close to that. Its ridiculous, especially if its going to be every day while you are working.

Depends. 40/hr? Is she going to teach her Japanese and theoretical physics? Is she going to cook her a four star meal? Is she going to carry her to the bathroom?
Lmao. No 40/hr is ridiculous. I hope that’s a typo and that you meant 40/day.
In which case I wold still ask if she’s going to do more than turn on the tv and let her play.
I charge 20/day (no one pays me… ever… 
but that’s what I charge).
I keep up with the milestones. By the age of two they can recognize letters and their sounds. By the age of 4 they can read and write and are ready for kindergarten.
You’d be better off putting her in a good renowned learning center at that price.
I’m now taking on my nephew at no charge. Sis just has to provide diapers wipes food and milk.

My mom does in home babysitting. It’s $120 a week, we feed her and the parents don’t provide anything but extra clothes, diapers, and that’s it. We have toys, we go to the zoo, park, walks. Play with chalk outside, hoolahoops and so on.
So personally, I think $40 an HOUR is insane

I would look into the local daycare centers I don’t know what they cost now but when I put my daughter in it was $70 a week they provided breakfast and lunch snacks and lots of fun so if you’re looking at paying that kind of money check out the daycare centers
I charge 20 or 25 per kid.
I think she’s trying to say nicely no I will not watch your kids. That’s why she put a high price. I have done the same thing to friends.
