... years experience mother's helping infants, and babysitting toddlers and children. i have also taken a babysitting/CPR/First aid class at my local hospital. I am certified in children and infant CPR/first aid/heimlich maneuver. I am very mature and responsible for my age. I also live in Massachusetts where the minimum wage is $8. All of the teenage babysitters that my younger sister has had charge $10-12 per hr. I would also bring games, crafts, and fun ideas, and would be constantly interacting with the kids. Also, I would automatically clean dishes, sweep, organize toys, help kids clean their rooms, etc. I was thinking these prices:
$6 per hr mother's helping ($6.50 for 3+ children)
$8 per hr babysitting ($8.50 for 3+ children)
I also said on the flyer "these prices are negotiable, so please let me know your particular needs!"
What do you think? My friends who dont babysit say 6-7 per hr, but my friends who do say $10. Thanks!
