When it comes to babysitting privately, getting paid may become awkward. Is it decided before you go and babysit or do you just wait to see what you are paid at the end of the shift? The typical amount for a younger person would be around $10 an hour. If you are older and have more experience and have more responsbility, then $15 an hour would be the sufficient amount to be paid. From experience, $10 an hour is the going rate in most households but there are exceptions where you get more or less. I'm not guarenteeing this is what you get paid when starting a new babysitting job but the link below explains more in detail about getting paid.

This is a good topic but expand. Be the expert, how should people negotiate? What is experience, etc... Delve more into these areas.
