I usually do an automatic $10 an hour for one child. Then usually for a second I'll add a few more dollars. If it's a regular full time schedule I'll have them pay by the day rather than the hour. If it's just occasionally it's by the hour. It also depends on what they expect done and whether the care be in my own home or theirs. 😊

I do regular baby sitting for two kids 2 and 3, and charge $40 a day. But I charge more for date nights. I also don't have any need to work, it's just extra money for us, I would probably charge more if I needed the money.
