about how much would you think someone who watches 3 kids- four days a week for 8 hours a day, should be paid.

the kids ages are between 1 and 4

15 dollars an hour...or request to be paid in buffalo wings.

That's what I would do.

Depends on the people, and depends on the age of the person babysitting.

I used to babysit a 4, 6, and 8 year old for about 4 hours every now and then when I was 12.  Lol, I only get something like 8 dollars and hour.

In terms of kids ages 1-4... depending on the person and the like, minimum would definitely be 8 (though if it was only 8, I would say you were getting ripped off :P ), and max could be up to 20ish, in my opinion.  My personal opinion, if I was the parent having someone watch my children who were ages 1-4, I think I would probably go with the middle and say 12-14 dollars an hour...?
