(Although in her case, there are extenuating circumstances and trust issues that she's proven time and again, so I can kind of see that) But the only person they trust to watch my nephew is my mom, who has to schedule her life around when they need her. Obnoxious, though not as bad as needing a nurse or teacher. Sure, as a teenager, I might not have been trained in every emergency of what could happen, but I did have first aid training and the ability to call the hospital if something happened. <br /><br />Your price seems really low. I think I got $12 an hour from the family I babaysat for on weekdays after school. But that could also be because it was two children under four and I was 17 at the time. There was also the weekend kid, which got me $30 an hour, but it was late-night. (10pm-2am) Not that it was any work; kid went to bed half an hour after I got there and was a really good kid.Shanennoreply@blogger.com
