    Well you couls start off by telling the families what u do with the children. YOu have many thing to do. I would probably charge more if what you do with the kids is true. I mean those games take up ALOT of power! no joke. I think your right in charging $150.

    I think what you charge is just right. You might actually be the cheapest babysitter with all that stuff.

    Charge what you think you are worth. Its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You can always negotiate.

    charge whatever you want. there will always be people willing to pay it.

    It depends on you, and them.

    How much of a bother is it for you?

    How close are you to the parents?

    How bad are the kids. You can charge any price you can get!!!

    well what you charge is your business, if ppl pay it then who cares. Look what they pay for cover charge on New Years Eve. I wouldnt be greedy about it, and parents are willing to pay and not have to worry. I did the same thing, we had a blast too. I would keep it at that amount, then you will have repeat customers and referels.

    i think that is about right because your going to ave them proly to 3 am so 12 hours and that is like 12.somthin an hour which is alot but it is new years and your wasting yours to babysit so yeah dont do less than that

    If you can get that much you go girl (boy?) Sounds like you are worth it.

    You should charge that or more. It's freakin new years eve!! You should be outn partying it up!! And you have a wii? I'm 15 and I'd pay $150 to play your wii for a day! Well, maybe not, but i think it's reasonable. If the parents don't like it, they can shove it. Go out and have a good time! (If you want to let me borrow your wii i'd be glad to watch it for you. lol)

    Well New Years Eve out is expensive. You could show alittle consideration to people who may not get to spend a night out very often. I would NOT pay that much. I think $45 a kid is reasonable. And I would set a bed time.
