I dont know about most girls but i just take what i get- if they ask me i say i don’t name a price they should give me what they feel comfortable with- i have someone sometimes she pays me 5$ and hour sometimes she pays me 10- it depends on each persons financial situation i have a couple of ppl i dont charge at all and i dont let them give me money- and i just chalk it up as chesed hours- which as anyone in high school knows- most people go well over the 30 required hours! and some ppl i have a credit thing going sometimes the pay me a 20 for a half hour but then dont pay me the next two times etc. it all depends on how well u know the person ur babysitting for- i dont babysit for strangers- and if u dont want to give a babysitter 10$ and hour i dont blame u but if the kids are up and they put them to bed ect. then they def. dont deserve 5$ id say a sleeping kid or two six or seven dollars- if they had to take care of htem 8 or nine and if it was a whole day thing- set a price for the whole day before hand ssay- if u babysit from 10 to 5 ill pay u 50$ theyll usually agree-even though its 7 hours- most girls would b happy to make 50$ in a day and wont count out the hours to b exact! hope it helps u see it from our perspective! oh and ya if u r one of those who go out once a week withur friends- then obviously u can afford to pay 10- even if u r a kollel couple- who paid for your bugaboo? oh and the going out was on ur parents credit card? maybe next time ask ur parents for cash?- sry i dont mean it to sound mean but its ok to take from ur parents for ur own enjoyment but not to pay someone wat they deserve?
