[blparent] Babysitting others kids

[Shelby Meyer]

Have many of you babysat other people's children as a full-time job? I was thinking about babysitting a ladies kids for her. She has a three-year-old and a two month old. She came to meet me. I was told that she wasn't so much worried about the three-year-old as the two-month-old. She is worried because she doesn't know how someone who can't see can take care of a child that small. I explained that I do things a little bit differently but I can still do it. I mean, look at my almost 3-year-old little boy! Who do you think took care of him? I don't know if I'm going to babysit these kids because I haven't heard from the mother. I also don't know if it's worth it because I have to get up at 4:30 AM and they would be here until 3:30 PM. She would only pay $100 per week. Not for each kid, just flat $100. It would be four days a week. 
If I do take on these kids, how did some of you travel with three small children or did you just stay at home a lot? I don't want my son to feel like he has to suffer because I'm taking on two other kids. If that makes any sense at all.
