how much to charge for in home baby care for a family member?
ok well my sister in law just had a little boy so since im a stay at home mom she wants me to watch him she is willing to pay me and i could def. use the money but i dont want to ask for to much or to little there will be some days that i have him for only 2 hours then theres others where i will have him until 8 at night! she told me she asked around and was willing to give me an hour which i feel is to much since she is family i was thinking more like 7 or 8 does anyone else do this and how much do they charge or pay?? also i told her all i needed her to bring is diapers wipes burp cloths bibs extra cloths and food of course is there anything else that im forgetting i have a 2 year old so i have alot of stuff but…. i dont want the day to come and not have something i need ……………. thanks!!
if it wasnt everyday i wouldnt charge but having a newborn everyday is totally different then every now and then
thanks!! i just dont want to ask for to much or to little bc it is a big deal my neighbor told me 4 an hour which just doesnt seem like enough at all and yea daycare is alot less then in home care thanks!

Watching one child is different than a day care service, where they will charge less. If you feel uncomfortable taking $10 an hour, then drop it to $7 or $8. I do think that is a fair price though because taking care of a baby is no easy task (as you well know). Also, she should provide all the diapers, etc.
i would take what offered but i don’t charge family to baby sit.
If your sister is willing to pay 10$ an hour she must have a very good job! I pay 2.70$ an hour for my daycare and thats about average where I live. So, yes I think 7 or 8 would be very fair
I would also think $10 an hour is extremely high. I would never be able to afford daycare at that rate. Since it is family and although it varies the amount of hours you will watch the baby every day, I would suggest around $75-$100 a week. This is half of the price of traditional center daycares for a week.
