Appropriate amount for this babysitting job?

well… it really all depends… is this friend of yours a good friend? (do you really want to charage her a lot)… are you babysitting this baby for a full 2 weeks? (day to night)… think over the situation… and talk over the ammount with her, but if I were you, I’d wait for her suggestion.

I wouldn’t do it for less than $50 a day, not including any supplies the baby needs. At three months old, you may have to get up with the baby once or twice in the middle of the night. I hope you spend a lot of time with this child. Get to know the mom’s habits as far as feeding, diapering, calming, and playing go, and also take very detailed notes on the baby’s schedule. Even if the mom says the baby doesn’t have a set schedule at three months, there is an order to the chaos that outsiders don’t understand. This baby is going to be tough to handle being w/o his or her mother. Have a friend or relative with experience on speed dial.

You’re F are I e and d s - I would cede to her wishes as to the amount to pay you and smile - hopefully this friend treats you right…Take care !!
