[blparent] Babysitting others kids

[Shelby Meyer]

I did ask if there was something particular she wanted to know how I did, she said no she just wants to know how I do it since I cannot see. And yes, it is a complete rip off. She said that's all she can afford though. Sorry, but she's not going to find anyone who is good at that price. I'm going to look up the laws in my state now. Thank you!
