Babysitting - What To Charge?
This is kind of a longshot, but I'm wondering if anyone does any childcare or pays someone to watch their kids occasionally?
I put an ad on Craigslist offering childcare for New Years (it's a good way to make a ton of money in one night!), but I've had some people looking for me to watch their kids on other nights too. I'm very happy to make some extra money, but I have no idea what a fair wage is. Any ideas?
I have first aid and cpr, plus a police record check. And I work with kids all the time. I think I'm more qualified than the average 14 year old, but what's that worth now?
Thanks guys! :)

Yeah, it's definitely key to figure out a price beforehand. I'm not comfortable enough to demand more money otherwise! :)
Cheers!
