if you were a 15 year old girl and two of the kids were still in diapers? the kids are 9 - 1 years. she has to feed them and it is just her watching them. its my daughter and i think she should be charging more then she is.

UPDATE:

we talked about it once I picked her up. she (my daughter) is going to charge $10 an hour since the lady is recently divorced. But she is going to charge for when she is late.

Depends. Will the 15 year old have any help? Does she need to feed the kids? Will they be awake or sleeping some of the time?

All depends on what she would have to do and how old they all are.

Are they all from the same family-if all 5 from the same family-  is this for a one time 5 hour thing (like going out?)  I would say 40-50 dollars

I'm with lies here.
Not that many kids and two still being babies. I don't know if I'd let a 15 year old keep my 6 year old

 My first thought is...a lot!

I'd say $5 per child, per hour. $5 for 5 children=25 x 5 hrs= $125.
