How much should i charge for babysitting?

i'm 13 and i would like to start babysitting. i've practiced with family and i took red cross babysitting, standard first aid, and cpr child and infant courses. i was thinking about $2 per hour per kid or $2 per hour and $1 for every extra kid. Which one? Or do you have any other prices that you think would be right?

1. Depends on how much the parents have. I charge 5$ a kid and if the kid or kids is known for being bad then it's 10$ a kid.

2. i do $10 an hour

3. I think you should put up your fee....$5 an hour sounds reasonable

4. whoa. $2!?! I charge 6 an hour, and if there is two kids I give the parents a break and charge 5 per hour per kid. Are you going to be cooking and cleaning as well? Are you going to be babysitting while the parents are at work? On weekends? I would charge more for weekends and nights. If people need childcare they will be willing to pay more for someone with cpr ect. you have the credentials. don't let yourself be taken advantage of!
