tell the parents that you are cpr certified and ask them how much are they going to pay you hourly but dont be rude to them.

I’d say start with $12/hour, but offer less if it’s a regular thing (like $10/hour if you’re working for the same family a few hours at the same time every week).

I would say $12 per hr for one child.
IF you live in a very affluent area, $15.
We pay teenagers $10 and College kids/teachers $15

Hi there, I live in Florida also. I pay my 17 year old babysitter $8 an hour for 2 kids. She claims that’s more than what others pay. . .but I’m not for certain. I’ve asked “How much to pay a babysitter” on this site twice before and got a HUGE range of answers, anywhere from $3-$25 an hour!! It may also depend on a few things. . .how old are you? Do you drive? It’s great and helpful that you are CPR certified, good for you!
Judging on what you’ve said above, I would say $6-7 an hour, but of course it just depends on the situation.
