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.
If you please fix up some papers to save you if something happen. People these days are crazy
