What do/would you charge for babysitting infant?

Well seriously think about this: You have bills to pay, you're certified in CPR, and you obviously aren't 12 years old. Anything above $10 is ideal for someone of your status. $5 for the 12 year old. But I would NEVER let ANYONE babysit my newborn infant younger than 9 months. That is the most important time for a mother to bond with her child and I don't want anyone, certified or not, handling my baby. That's what 'maternity leave' is for. That's me though. All mothers are different.
