DD(15) has recently completed the British Red Cross babysitting course where she learnt about first aid, safety in the house/fire safety, what to do in different scenarios that you might come across when babysitting etc.
Only problem is we have no one she can babysit for. All of my Dc's are 15+ now as are our friends children, no cousins nearby or anything. So firstly, how can she get some babysitting? She volunteers at brownies so we thought about giving out a leaflet or something to the parents at the end to start off with?
Also she doesn't know how much she should charge. We are in zone 5/6 London if it makes any difference. And should her rate vary per number of children? So maybe £5 an hour for 1 child but £7 for 2. How much do you/would you pay for a teenager to babysit your DC's?
Thanks
