If I were to start babysitting from home, what would be a good price range? I used to babysit M-F for $10 a day and honestly that money was mostly spent on crafts and learning equipment for the kids. I’d like to make a little more this time but not sure how much would be “too much”? I provide snacks and such because I also will be feeding my daughter and it’s just easier to feed them the same things. I’m not sure on how many days or hours yet if I decide to do it. My husband think that I should make it hourly and that I should considering charging a little bit extra if they don’t pick the kid up after so long of it being past “pick up”. I thought about just doing a flat rate so that I would get paid the same even if the child didn’t come on a day or something like that. Also, I wanted to make a little contract type thing so that everything would be in writing this time. I kind of got burnt a little last time and want to hopefully prevent that a little better this go around. Any suggestions? I’m not CPR certified or anything so I know I can’t be charging too much and I don’t want people to think that I’m charging outrageous and just want to do it for the money because that’s really honestly not the case at all.
