So I am going to become a regular baby sitter for a new family. The mother offered 6 dollars an hour for 2 kids, 5 and 7. The problem with this is... Im 16. 6 bucks an hour isnt going to cut it. What is a reasonable wage i should suggest?.--Answer1:well your not gonna be getting $15 an hour but a reasonable amount is$7 or $9your pushing it for more because they arent that rowdy at that age
