About Joseph. I'm a retired school teacher with the Broward School District where I spent forty blessed years being involved with middle school kids. I am privileged to serve as a deacon at the Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale Church where I attend.
Average Rates. Average babysitting wages ranged from $8 to $12 per hour in 2014, according to BabysittingRates.com. Some families may pay as little as $4 per hour, while some families may pay $18 or more per hour, depending on their specific situation. Experience Pays.
I can work during the week, which is rare among teen babysitters. So anyhow, I'm wondering how much to charge. The going rate in my area seems to be about $9.00 per hour for just one child, which I find to be too expensive, but maybe it's not.
