I get paid $8 an hour to babysit, I am also a grad student with experience with children, too..

I was going to ask for $9 an hour, but I sensed they would not be able to afford it, when they asked me what I wanted, in my mind I jumped back down to $9 to $8, but I am sensitive that way....

$10 is not unreasonable, either I feel..

The family I babysit for got me a WONDERFUL Christmas gift, and they tend to overpay me when the hours are not exact, all the time!!

Have a wonderful time babysitting, googley!!!!!!!!!!! I love it, too!!
