Just curious what age are you and what is the age range your babysitting? I’m 11 and I’ve baby sat a 9 month old,a two year old and today,a one year old
2/21/2024 Hi I'm Elizabeth from Houston Texas and I baby sitting For $20 a day because I understand How single parents struggle to Work and pay for everything..... God bless our little children.
On my first job, I decided that 5 dollars a hour would be a good amount for one kid. But... the little boy I was sitting was sick... like throw up sick. I'm happy about that. It taught me a lot about babysitting, and how you should be prepared for anything. Even if it's a 4 year old boy puking all over your jean jacket. I had another vomit-related situation 2 years later. I was able to handle it very well!
Your channel has helped me so much!!! I just had four days in a row of babysitting and Every day when I come home I watch your channel to help me for the next day 😊
Hey babysitter boss, I’m am going to start babysitting soon and I need to find out how much I should charge, can you help me? I am going to charge per kid per hour.
Well, if you remember in the video, there are a few things to consider. Have you taken a course like Safe Sitter? Do you have any experience? What's the going rate where you live?
Hey so i'm going to start babysitting sometime soon and i'm trying to figure out a price By the time i'm babysitting i will have finished Red Cross's online babysitting course and i was thinking around 6$ per hour plus 2-3$ per child or just 10$ an hour am i going too high?
Hi Iris! I think your fees seem really fair since you are just starting out. You might want to start out with only one or two children to get the hang of babysitting. Infants and toddlers (kids 3 and under) can be really tough to babysit. I suggest you start with kiddos 4 or older - just to get the hang of it. Let me know if you have any other questions. I love to help!
How do u find people who need babysitters I get nervous just going up to people saying “need a babysitter” so I want to know how you started getting jobs from people
Start with people you know - family members, neighbors, family friends. You can also ask your parents to let their co-workers know you're now babysitting. Here's a few other tips: safesitter.org/advertise-babysitting-services-safely/.
Omg this is helpful. How do I convince my MOM I’m not getting payed too much? She thinks I’m just helping out and should be paid not much. Everytime she arranges something, she tells people 9-10 dollars an hour, even for multiples. Like she got onto on of the parents who hired me because he paid me 12.50 an hour. LIKE FULL ON ARGUED WITH THIS GUY OVER IT- My current rate is 12-13 dollars, depending on amount of kids, duration, time of day, etc. my mom thinks babysitting isn’t a real job and I’m over paying and should be “happy with what I get”. Im trained, I did an 8 hour 97$ class (out of my own birthday money) to be certified. She still believes im just doing people favors and should be payed way less.
Hi I really adore your channel can you please make a video about dealing with meal time the kids I watch never eat their meals if you could make a video I would be so happy thanks! ❤️
Well, Safe Sitter, of course! When I first started babysitting I charged less than I do now. Taking a class and getting some experience will make it easier for you to charge more.
This is why it is SOOOOOOO important to tell the employer how much you charge per hour before you accept the job and ask them, "Will that be okay?" And if you find yourself at the end of the job and they refuse to give you money, tell your parent and then never accept another babysitting job from them. I hope this helps!
i babysit and charge 9$ per kid per hour. If there are pets I look after then I charge an additional 5$ fee per pet (not per hour) . So that means of there are 3 kids and 2 pets for just 3 hours i would get 91$!!!
I got paid 50 dollars for watching an 8 yr old, 4 yr old, and 1 and a half year old who was teething so she was crying all 4 hours i was there. Is that a good amount? P.S i was with my friend
It’s not okay for an employer to not pay you. When they ask you to babysit again, tell them your hourly wage and make sure you ask them if that is okay. If they agree to pay you and then refuse, don’t babysit for them again.
That is really tough and it's awesome that you realize that a parent's wages might make it more challenging to set a wage. It's hard for me to say since I don't have a lot of details, but charge what you think is fair and have an honest conversation with the employer about how much you charge. If you feel like you might charge less, but you like the family and you want to help, that is fine. If you feel like you're being taken advantage of, that's not okay.
Are you okay with that? If you are, it's okay. If you feel like she is taking advantage of your babysitting services, it's not okay. Talk to your parents about how to handle the situation. Your mom will help!
This girl is so underrated☹️I’m starting a babysitting business and I’m watching all her videos to get tips and tricks💕 She’s great

@@BabysitterBoss any ideas how get baby sitter jobs how do I stand out from the rest of the crowd
@@shekilrose1077 Have you taken a babysitting safety course like Safe Sitter?

It's called "employment." If you were working at McDonalds I don't think she'd feel you had to be "nice" to them and work for free.
This was literally so helpful ! Thank u!❤️
I currently charge $7-$10 per hour depending on how many kids there are, and the duration of the job.
Thank you!
I wish I saw this when I first started now I’m stuck getting paid $15 a day for 8 hours of babysitting 😟
Oh no!
OMGG WHAT. and i thought 8 an hour was bad
Hi I really adore your channel can you please make a video about dealing with meal time the kids I watch never eat their meals if you could make a video I would be so happy thanks! ❤️
Hey how much do you pay and which babysitting course is best?
Well, Safe Sitter, of course! When I first started babysitting I charged less than I do now. Taking a class and getting some experience will make it easier for you to charge more.
What if they refuse to give you money?
This is why it is SOOOOOOO important to tell the employer how much you charge per hour before you accept the job and ask them, "Will that be okay?"

Lexi, for the summer I got hired to take care of two kids all day for four days a week. how much should I charge per day?
I have a question 🤔 So like I want start babysitting kids so like how do i reach out to people that I do babysitting?!?!?! Please help with this 😭
I got paid 50 dollars for watching an 8 yr old, 4 yr old, and 1 and a half year old who was teething so she was crying all 4 hours i was there. Is that a good amount?
P.S i was with my friend
That's great! I'd keep that employer!
I’m starting babysitting any tips
Take a babysitting safety class like Safe Sitter! It will help you soooooooooooooo much!! (Find a class here safesitter.org/find-a-class/.)
Quick question what if you are babysitting for someone who is depending on you but they can’t afford to pay you?
It’s not okay for an employer to not pay you. When they ask you to babysit again, tell them your hourly wage and make sure you ask them if that is okay. If they agree to pay you and then refuse, don’t babysit for them again.
Babysitter Boss thanks
How much should I charge for a parent that only receives minimum wage?
That is really tough and it's awesome that you realize that a parent's wages might make it more challenging to set a wage. It's hard for me to say since I don't have a lot of details, but charge what you think is fair and have an honest conversation with the employer about how much you charge. If you feel like you might charge less, but you like the family and you want to help, that is fine. If you feel like you're being taken advantage of, that's not okay.
Is charging $9 an hour for one kid $10 for two and $11 dollars for three okay to charge
That sounds really good and fair!
Well I babysit my moms friend son and she pays me with candy but well that's a start right?
Are you okay with that? If you are, it's okay. If you feel like she is taking advantage of your babysitting services, it's not okay. Talk to your parents about how to handle the situation. Your mom will help!
is 50$ an hour ok or to much im not for sure.
WAY to much
@@reillypartain9182 ok
thanks for telling me
@@emilyhartwell7761I charge 10$ for 2 kids, soooo…
How do I begin as a 9year old babby sitter
I don't know if you're quite ready to start babysitting yet. Maybe wait a couple of years and take a class like Safe Sitter.
Well I charge $5.00 an hour
By the way I have taken a safe sitters class
YAY!!! I love all my fellow Safe Sitters out there!!!
I’m 11, so 7 or 8 an hour? Hope that’s good to get $80 dollars a month (so I can afford a dog)
I think that is a really fair starting rate! And I love dogs!!!!
Who else watching in 2021
