Has to do with the age of the babies, how many kids you take & where you live.

I know there’s a need in my neighborhood for 1 and under
I wouldn’t take more than 2 babies since I have my own as well
I don’t want to say where in Lakewood
It’s close to west gate but not west gate

For max 3 babies you can definitely charge $10 possibly even 11 especially if you have flex hours

Maybe if you only take 2 you can try to charge a higher rate. Ppl pay 6-9 for 6 babies. Question if ppl will be willing to pay more.

People would probably be willing to pay more for 3 instead of 6 babies, maybe $12 an hour instead of $9 an hour.

Definitely not much more than that for 24 per hour you can get someone in your house and split it with another baby. This is a dropoff with 3 babies

depends, my sister pays 10 an hour and sends with another kid (so 20 an hr in total) but there are other babysitters that pay like 4-7 an hr and get like 5 kids...

If ur really close to westgate then unless u find someone who only wants 2 babies whose willing to pay u a lot u probably won’t find ppl to join ur group cuz there are plenty of groups in westgate for that age and most ppl wouldn’t pay so much unless ur offering super extended hours or something that really sets you apart from other groups

No one pays $9 for 6 babies, closer to $6 maybe 7 max for such a high ratio. I have a baby that age and neighborhood and have been looking at different groups…

If you advertise the low ratio you may be able to get more. Personally I would always pay more for a low ratio. I know a lot of people won't but you only need a few that will. I beeline smell ratio is much better and would have loved to have a very small ratio and pay more. (But I would be annoyed if I paid for a low ratio and then you took an extra child. )

Yes ur a mommy but if u have 1 baby, I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable sending to someone who never did babysitting before and only has 1 kid. A lot of people start off in a daycare before going on their own. And $12 an hour for someone who’s never done it before is a lot. Hatzlacha finding ppl.
