-- Posted by Anonymous at 9:49 am on July 24, 2008 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 -- Posted by Paisapunkprincess at 9:50 am on July 24, 2008 alot, those ages are the worst. -- Posted by cheerbab3 at 9:50 am on July 24, 2008 $15 an hour. ($5 each) -- Posted by paperskyx at 9:51 am on July 24, 2008 Oh my god, like $20.00 an hour. -- Posted by tennisplayerV2 at 9:51 am on July 24, 2008 i would ask for 12 an hr first...then increase from there -- Posted by Dylan6405 at 9:52 am on July 24, 2008 400 a week -- Posted by ShoelaceOfDoom at 9:53 am on July 24, 2008 At least $20 an hour. -- Posted by lovelikeadove at 9:53 am on July 24, 2008 about 15 an hour -- Posted by skittybaby at 9:53 am on July 24, 2008 15 an hour -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 9:54 am on July 24, 2008 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...? -- Posted by byebyebeautyful at 9:59 am on July 24, 2008 try going for 15 first -- Posted by carnage44 at 10:04 am on July 24, 2008 15 dollars an hour...or request to be paid in buffalo wings. That's what I would do. -- Posted by foxypunk at 10:08 am on July 24, 2008 dunno, but I usued to watch 4 kids 10 hours a day and 1 had otisum and I only got paid $40 a day, it was a total rip off -- Posted by iimjustbadnews at 10:14 am on July 24, 2008 those are hard ages, anywhere from 5/7$ per child, per hour
