Is $6 dollars per hour a good babysitting wage?

I'm 13 and I'm trying to save up for an iPhone, so I'm going to start babysitting. I just got Red Cross certified last week and I want to start soon. Do you think $6 per hour is a good babysitting wage, or should I change it? Also, should my wage vary when it comes to younger children, or if I have to babysit more than one child? Thank you!

P.S. I live in a relatively big city. Just saying that because it might vary depending where you live.

Yes, if you are 13 years old it is generous. It also depends how long you babysit for. If you are doing it like one hour after school every day it sound fair. If you do 3 hours in a row you might consider asking for a raise!

$6 is fine for your age but you could try to get it to $8 a hour, and if this is your first time you should babysit just one kid

  • What's a good tablet for under 200 dollars? I'm just looking for a device to play on. Nothing serious. I have a iphone 4 and love it, but think getting a gen1 ipad device would be overkill since my iphone is practically a small ipad. What's some good quality cheap tablets that I can play some games on, browse, nothing serious.
  • What is the correlation between Slave wage labor and American capitalism? Like chinese child sweat shops, chinese building iphones and tech for cent an hour, chocolate coming from africa slave like work I'm new to english and terminology but can you explain capitalism and the correlation of these things. Someone was talking about it saying, I don't think capatlism is bad but America does bad things in the name of capatalism and somewhere in the discussion i heard slavery, wage labor etc.
  • We should all go on strike to raise the minimum wage to $50/hour? So we can feed our 10 children and keep our iphones and bmws and all live in bel-air. They need to show more respect for us burger flippers.
  • My iPhone 5s is using around 10% of battery per hour? It says in usage, time since full charge Usage 4 hours 46 minutes Stand by 8 hours 32 minutes This seems not very good does anyone else have this problem or seem to think you should be getting more from battery I would like to hear your opinions thanks
