How much should I pay my friend to watch my daughter?
Answer:
I think since she is your friend, it's better to get her a gift or something.
sh.
My registered sitter watches my son once a week for $30 a day.
$15 for all day food and all
$20 per day.
25-30 a week...sounds good for a day.
Well if it is going to be on a steady basis then I think $30 is reasonable being she is your friend. I would not pay her more than $50.
I really do not know what is a "fair" wage. My daughter who is 14 years old babysits for a neighborhood girl that is 8 for 10 to 12 hours for 30 dollars a day. If that helps any.

8 hours.you gotta at least pay like minimum wage i think. You could say since its a friend you dont pay as much, but id look at it the other way around...pay more since its a friend.
well its usually 5 dollars an hour...but since its like your friend I'd say like 20-30 dollars every time she sits for atleast 4-8 hours especially if your on a budget... :)
I would ask my friend if $25-30 would be okay pay for the one day a week? This would give you two the opportunity to talk about it. If she doesn't want you to pay her then you'd need to get her a gift, gift certificate or take her out to lunch or movies once a month to show your appreciation. Also, if you pay her she would know that you're counting on her to be dependable. She's a good friend to offer to babysit, ask her opinion. Good Luck!
!st thing 1st, don't "buy" her time with money. Sometimes, when we pay our friend, then our point of view will be biased.
2ndly, talk to her, heart to heart, especially if you are in a financial problem, tell her that you want to pay her. But if she say no,then don't force her.
3rd. buy her something, especially a shopping voucher so she can use it to buy herself things that she needs.
4th, since she helps you personally, pay back in other ways around. celebrate her birthday, arrange a dinner for her and her spouse, and if she's a single, advertise her as a good woman who cares for kids.
5th to strengthen your friendship, spend time together, you,her and your kids. be a kid once more!
HAVE FUN!
Ask her what she charges for her services
well i think the average rate is 5.00 an hr per kid, but since she's a freind and volunteered i'd say 20.00-30.00 a day. i was totally jipped by my friend she only paid me 10.00 for 9 hrs. that is soooo not enough.
Instead of paying her in cash why not volunteer your services babysitting, housekeeping, errand running etc... If she volunteered to do it I'm sure she doesn't expect money and this would be a great way to pay her back without money.
Does she have children herself? I watch my friends' son and we just add up the hours at the end of the month, and she comes over on Saturday and watches my kids the same amount of time. It's great, my husband and I get out and we don't have to pay a babysitter. But other than that, I would say $5/hour. Offer that, and let her decide if it's too much. Chances are she'll say not to bother, but at least you have made the effort.
maybe u provide all the food and clothes and watever ur child needs and like 20$ for the day
