[blparent] Babysitting others kids

I think you would have to ask yourself, is this job really worth it?  It 
sounds like it could take away your sleep time, if nothing else.

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.
