Donating YT 11K Club Member | well I have only babysat for kids during the day and I get paid about $15 an hour, depending on how many kids, etc. But during the night Idk, I guess they should have a set amount for the whole weekend |

| Are they friend's kids? Do you need the money? Did you enjoy your time with them? Did they clean up after themselves? I'd take what ever they offered. Kids that age can be so much fun and no work at all. Unless of course they were rotten brats, in that case they couldn't pay me enough. |

| See if they'll make an offer but gosh you've done a lot of work so I'd say more than 300. I mean it's one thing to pick up toys of little kids, but it's different to take care of their animals and be their chauffer. |

| I have watched children for 14 years now. I usually just watch smaller kids, newborn -elementary age. I charge by the hour and once kept a little girl for 5 days over night while her parents were on a cruise. I still charged by the hour, but then I only charge $3.00 an hour. I think I made about $500, they gave me a little more than hourly pay to cover food cost. If there are 2 kids from Thursday til Sunday I think I would charge about $450-$475 for both of them. It sounds like you will be taking them places, feeding them and other things, so I think that is an excellent price. I wouldn't take into account the childs age, whatever the age you are still feeding, transporting and giving quality care to the child.
