Babysitting for fun and money Babysitting was a way to earn extra money. Some liked it, some didn’t. However, the ma¬ jority of students babysat on a regular basis sometime during their highschool years. Whether one had a part time job or not, many still babysat when not working. The wage scale ranged from two dollars an hour to forty dollars a week. Some had steady jobs, like watching kids after school during week days. Others babysat wherever and whenever they were needed.
