Wow, all the responses that say "newbies" are scaring me... 
Though I know there may be some truth there. I think some of them may wind up preying on unsuspecting college students or fresh-out-of-high-school graduates who need extra income and are willing to work long hours for crappy pay with misbehaved children. Something like that happened to me over a year ago (never got paid for the last 2 weeks of care), but I consider that a lesson that I will use to set boundaries from the start.
