As far as the going rate is concerned, that obviously depends on the neighborhood. But whether it is a question of rate or whether you want to babysit or not, no one is forcing you to do what you don’t want to do or take a rate that you feel is too low. If you don’t want to babysit, don’t answer the phone if you don’t know how to say “no”. Tell your parents not to give you the phone or please help you by telling your friends “I don’t babysit”. If someone tries to pressure you tell them “I don’t like to babysit. Please don’t pressure me.” Don’t feel guilty you have a choice. But doing it and complaining about it is ridiculous.
