How much should I charge to babysit a 2 yr old? If it makes a difference... I live in upstate NY. She said she will provide food & supplies.
Someone asked me if I could babysit as a backup for when her Mother-in-law can't do it, so it wouldn't be everyday.
It would be from 7:45 am to like 2 or 2:30. If for whatever reason her husband couldn't pick her up after work then the latest would be 4:15-4:30. What do you think is resonable to charge?
The drop in rate for my youngest’s daycare is $55/day, but we get a 10% discount so it’s a little more. My oldest’s daycare was $95 for drop in. I’m in NJ
If you know in advance then I would say it would be reasonable to charge what the per diem rate is for local daycares in your area.
I would say maybe $100-150 per day. You're basically doing it pee diem which is totally different than being ready every day. Don't you want it to be worth your while to be readily available to her.
I cannot imagine charging a mom just trying to go to work for one day that amount if I wasn’t providing food/supplies and some bomb ass activities. That’s so much.
A day??? Omg might as well do daycare for that price. I think what the above person said 40-50 is plenty.
@jays.mom., my son has a backup provider for emergencies and even then it’s $55/day bc that’s her drop in rate. She provides breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks.
@luna_bear, plus she is providing all food… so ya, to watch a kid $7/hour is plenty.
@momgroupreject, I just think daycare is different than a babysitter. Sitters around here charge about $12/hour
I think $40-50 per day is reasonable. But find out if you’ll be expected to potty train because that’ll be a lot of extra work on top of your own kids
