Babysitting Fee`s Per Hour

Could you tell me how much to charge per hour, or per an eight hour shift for two children?

Hello.
I`m a mother of one child. For a private babysitter she charges $17.00 a day (8 hours) or $85.00 a week.
The $85.00 a week is per child. But one aspect you might want to look at is are you a registered or licescened caregiver or not? Its up to you as to what to charge or not. You might also look into the mothers incomes of the children you plan to keep. What amount would be to high or what amount would be too low. Hope that helps some. THANKS.
