I always wanted to, I loved the Babysitter Club books, but there really were no young kids around for me to watch! :) so I have no idea how much one would charge, wherever they are located! but I feel for you, that would have been a tough situation for me too. I would have just been like, "oh, whatever you normally pay is fine..." just like you.Carissa Thilgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461334542105430269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-20775702536357327962009-08-05T22:25:50.765-05:002009-08-05T22:25:50.765-05:00When I babysit in high school it was usually aroun...When I babysit in high school it was usually around $5 an hour. i think $10 now is pretty standard depending on the number of children and their ages...Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-24338997315151383122009-08-05T22:13:55.574-05:002009-08-05T22:13:55.574-05:00About 6 years ago I got around 6 bucks an hour... ...About 6 years ago I got around 6 bucks an hour... lolCrazy Shenanigans-JMOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494603714481735184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-78696014402865352222009-08-05T21:06:24.582-05:002009-08-05T21:06:24.582-05:00When I babysat in high school, I think I got aroun...When I babysat in high school, I think I got around $4 or $5 an hour!
