Hi, I'm Trin. I babysit three children (11, 10, & 3 -not potty trained) as well as three dogs (2 boxers and a golden retriever all about two human years -all not potty trained lol). I was wondering what I should get paid for three full days (from 3PM of Friday, to 10PM of Sunday and spending the night for the in betweens) the parents offered $120, is this reasonable?

It depends on the state and county you are in and what the economy is like in your area. And your age and experiences. If you are license and bonded with liability insurances. And certified CPR first aid training. And if you paying taxes on your income. Or if they are taking out taxes, social security, and Medicare insurance out of your pay. . Are they feeding you meals are they charging you for meals. . On average inexperienced child care providers at the home of the family get about $6 - $8 per hr. In an average low middle class area. But if in upper middle class family area it could be double that. If you are certified child care provider bonded insured then even more than that.
If you doing laundry, clean house , washing dishes , making the beds , and babysitting and dog sitting then you are under paid. But if just basic child care. And feeding and water the dogs. $40-$60 per day is good if not certified license bonded insured child care provider. .
