This is a harder question to answer then one might guess. It largely depends on where you live, what other things you are asking your babysitter to do (IE pick up drop off at soccer camp, clean the house, make dinner), how often (you pay someone more to do it as a regular job rather then on an occasional Friday night), how well behaved your child is, and what the going rates are in your neighborhood.
If this is a regular job then to get someone good I would say ten dollars an hour. If you need to save money I would recommend trying to find someone else with similar needs that you can share the cost with. If you pay ten for one then you probably could get two kids watched for 12-13 per hour. Split that and then you are only out 6 or seven a piece. Its the time for the babysitter that usually makes the initial cost so expensive.
No. A ten-year-old is not a suitable custodian for a younger child. Anyone who leaves their child in the custody of a ten-year-old is guilty of neglect.
4 dollars an hour, per child.
probably around $6 /per hour /per child
Yes, a 14 year old is able to babysit a 7 year old. Since this child is in school you could perhaps even help them with their school homework when babysitting them.
There is no law in Georgia that specifies an age for babysitting. The child has to be safe, feel safe and know how to handle and emergency situation. Most would think that a 12 year old could handle a four year old for a couple hour during the day.
i think you should do babysitting
i think you should do babysitting
probably 3-7 i would most likely think those ages would be best not too old not too young but it would depend on the 11 year olds maturity level totally and the parent of the child its babysitting should make sure that they want the child to babysit their child but yes those ages are most likely appropriate.
I don't think boys should be babysitting. Sorry.
In Canada I don't think that there is really a legal age to babysit. It is up to the parents. I know many 13 year old people that babysit 9 year old children and it has turned out fine. But it also depends on the child who is babysitting. If the parents feel that he or she is responsible enough, there should be no problem with them babysitting a 9 year old.
There are child labor laws that limit what jobs a 14 year old can get anywhere, including Derby. You should check to see if you are allowed to have a newspaper route or maybe babysitting.
Yes. Most Childcare websites let you apply at 15. Some wont but if you look hard enough you will find some. There is a difference between babysitting and being a nanny though. To be a Nanny you have to be 18 and have child care training and experience.
