Hi All,
Im a 20yr old college student and a family I babysit for asked me to join them for a week in the Poconos (Pennslyvannia) over the summer. Of course, I'm young, I could be doing many other alternatives however they are great and I get along well with their 2 kids who are 10 and 6. They said they would only need me for 16 hours total throughout the week. They are paying for everything for me including meals and water park entrances. They asked me what to charge them for the week. I was unsure so I asked a couple of friends and most said in between the $250-$300 range. $144 for the 16 hours, $50 gas for driving (I have to drive to their house which is 4 hours away before and after) and the remainder for my time... fair right?
They gave me their number first, $200...
Should I accept $200 or ask for more?? I mean I am staying for a wholeeee week for only 16 hours of it. Plus I have a feeling ill be with the kids way more than 16 hours. The oldest loves me and will want to do everything with me...
Please thoughts!! Feedback!!
Should I accept??
