Oh I don't use a paid babysitting service. People charge way too freakin' much for babysitting nowadays. They usually want like $7-$8 an hour. Faint
around here you can easily charge $10-12 an hour
I'm happy with 6-7$ for one child because it's what I make after taxes at my job anyways and much more enjoyable

We've only ever had close friends or relatives watch the kids, and most of the time they won't accept any money.

laugh out loud what'd it say for your area?

I like care.com actually...I've had a few phone calls from there and one interview and I've not really pursued jobs like I should have. I should really start sending more messages on there about some jobs

Well, even if I did, I wouldn't grant that kind of request. We both know you won't appreciate wealth if you did nothing to earn it. Harhar

OMG

Yeah, no offense, but I would SO not pay that, unless you had a 4-year degree in childcare and you were licensed in child CPR and first aid.

Yeah, ditto for us. Or we do with kids where we trade, so there's no exchange of money at all. Smilie MUCH better arrangement.

Yeah, that's more like it. laugh out loud


Let's face it - when you spend most of your time raiding our pantry and watching the kids watch spongebob for six hours, don't expect me to want to pay you minimum wage. LMAO

Quote from Frogstar :

I second that! They want $11 an hour for my area. Rofl2

Censored them! Roll

The private daycare we go to doesn't even charge that kind of outrageous rate! And all the teachers have specialized degrees - they teach the kids Sign Language and Spanish and Yoga and math and science and art...

Yeah, unless you're going to work some SERIOUS magic with my kid, there's nothing that justifies that kind of bullshit fee. LMAO

Goddamn, I need to start babysitting... Scratchchin

If I can charge what they're saying based on my experience... I could charge more than I'm making at my current job for a couple of kids. LMAO
