About $4 - 5 an hour depending on the child, number of children, and how responsible you are. A trick to getting paid more by the parent (if they are giving you the rate), is to clean up the house after the children are safely in bed. Thanks! You can babysit children age five and up if you are mature and responsible.
The FDA Has Approved How Many Novel New Drugs So Far This Year? For those who like to track the performance of the FDA, some new metrics have just arrived.

A common misconception about drug and device approval is that the FDA conducts its own tests before allowing products on the market.
