Tomorrow I will be babysitting for a neighbor for the first time. She has a four month old who will only be awake for an hour. (I am babysitting from 7-11pm.) What should I charge? (I was thinking about $7/hr but I would love to here what others recommend!)    Report

If you've been babysitting for five years, then you already have a set rate.  Once the child is asleep for the night, cut the rate by 50% since you're only there for emergencies at that point. *Love in Christ from Mary* 1 Peter 2:4-5 Vote my agency, Seminole Sitters, the "Best Overall Business" in Tallahassee for the 2007 Tally Awards at EverythingTallahassee.com!!!    Report

I told her $6/hr would be fine but I was refered to her from a neighbor with two young boys whom I charge $8/hr and so she said she would be willing to pay me that much. She has a nanny during the day that she pays $10/hr for so I guess I was a good deal!    Report
