[blparent] Babysitting others kids

[Brandy with Discovery Toys]

Hi, I run a licensed home daycare. We go all over even when I have 5 or 6
littles. $100 is a rip off! That is cheap for 1 kid let alone 2. I would
wear the 2 month old and walk with the other 2. References I've found to be
very helpful, and when they say they don't know how you would do it ask what
in particular and simply tell them how you do it. Last states are really
cracking down on unlicensed providers, so find out the rules in your state.
Some are ok with no more than 3 children, others have stricter rules. Good
luck!

Subject: [blparent] Babysitting others kids

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.
