I'm a stay at home mom with 2 kids and I'm picking up a babysitting job for about 6 weeks watching a 9 year old girl over the summer while her dad is at work. It'll be about 9 hours a day, probably 4 days a week. We haven't decided on payment yet, he told me to figure out how much I will charge and let him know... I don't want to charge too much but could use the extra money... any suggestions?

The averge costs of child care is £200 pounds a week or $300 dollars a week, so I say you should charge him £ 150 a week, its hard looking after a nine year old.

Good luck with the baby sitting and I hope he pays you the correct money
