Paid too much?
Posted Sunday July 9 2006, 12:40 am
Okay, this may not seem like a problem, but I started babysitting for this one family this summer. They have a pretty big house and good jobs, so it's not like they are poor. I think they overpay me though. I know I shouldn't complain, but they paid me $40 for watching a 4-year-old and a nine-year-old from 6-11pm....and they pay me $100 a week to watch the 9-year-old while they are at work during the summer....watching the nine-year-old basically consists of watching tv or watching him play nintendo or watching him fish. it's not a hard job, and I enjoy it...should I say something about the high pay, or just take it as them appreciating me and being nice? I don't want to get more than I deserve....

babysitting blues :(
Posted Thursday July 6 2006, 1:26 pm
Ok,I'm 13(gal)and i babysit 2 boys 3 times a week for about 4 hrs. There 1-1/2 & 6 yrs. old the 6 yr.old will NOT listen, i tell him not to do something and he still does it. Every time i have a problem i tell the dad when he gets home,but he never does anything.I have been babysitting for around 3 years and I've never run into this problem before. I'm thinking about starting a discipline plan.If he acts up i will tell him to go to his room,if he doesn't do that I'll tell him were not going outside that day etc.(i say what i mean and mean what i say).Then if it still doesn't work after a few days I'll tell his mom i cant babysit him anymore.I just cant handle him.I just need to know if other babysitters like me think this sounds good. thanks.

their house is A MESS!
Posted Sunday July 2 2006, 11:42 am
i babysit for my moms friend. they are awesome and so sweet but their house is a complete disaster. its duscusting! and not only the house but the kids are a mess to! they never wash up when i get there their face and hands are really dirty. there are three of them. and there is food all over the place. it looks like they havent cleaned their house in forever. and the mom doesnt have her priorities in the right order either. she has other stuff more important than her kids. she cant afford gas for her stove or even diaper wipes. and yet she can buy beeer and cigarettes and go to six flags. should i talk to them? if i do i dont know what to say because i dont want to be rude either. HELP NEEDED!

summer daycare activities
Posted Thursday June 29 2006, 1:44 pm
I run an in-home daycare. I have 7 children (1 is my own). Yes, I know that I am crazy :) Being summertime, I am having a difficult time finding activities to fill the day. I have structure, but I would really like to replace some of that "tv time" with things we can do together. I have two different age groups, and they tend to split up...so that's good news. I can do things with the babies while the big kids are playing and vice versa. I have all boys, ages 2, 3 and 14 months. The bigger boys are 6, 8 and 8. I also have a baby girl who is 8 months...don't need ideas for her, but I thought I would throw her in the mix! I am looking for inexpensive ideas. The typical coloring and fingerpainting just isn't cutting it anymore! Any suggestions?? Thanks!

daycare hours and etiquitte
Posted Thursday June 29 2006, 1:43 pm
I have an in home daycare and I have been caring for these two wonderful, beautiful boys who I love very much. One is 3 and the other is 14 months. Their parents have become good friends of ours, who we hang out with some weekends.
My problem is, that I feel taken advanage of and I don't know what to say or how to say it.
I charge them very minimally...$200 a week. Their hours of care are from 9:00-6:30. Lately, they have been getting dropped off at 8:40 and being picked up as late as 6:40, sometimes 7:00. In the beginning, if they were gonna be early or late I would know in advance. But now it's happening more and more often without notice. I really don't appreciate it. I have 4 other kids in my dayca...
