How much money can you earn babysitting with your friends?

Answer 1

It all depends on you and your friends. You can make lots of money by advertising your babysitter group. Here's an idea: Decide on a leader, advertise via posters in your neighborhoods, flyers, have your parents tell everyone at work, church, etc (you get the idea). Get the word out! Have the leader's name and number on any flier/poster so people call just one person. The leader should divy out the jobs fairly so you all have equal amounts of work. The amount of money you could make depending on home much brain storming on this idea is endless. You could charge a certain amount (discounts if they have more kids) or you could leave it up to the parents to pay what they want. My little sister babysits on occasional evenings for parents going out for the night. She normally charges $7/hour for one kid, $10/hour for two. Might not sound like much, but if you consider that it is tax free (up to a point), it ends up being just as much as a lot of adults make. You will probably need to check adds in your area just to get an idea of what other babysitters charge and base your rate on the info you get. Ask some adults with children what THEY would be willing to pay if they were to hire a sitter. Hope this helps, and I do apologize for assuming that you are child if, in fact, you are an adult. Good Luck!
