    Some of these are downright scary. Like the .63 /hour one. $25 a WEEK?! WHAT?! I charge $185/ week for a child. I can't imagine....

          So if you take your child to her on Friday morning and can leave them until Saturday morning, at $15 daily, that's .62 cents hourly.

                    I have a 3 yr old and a 8 yr old. I am looking for a babysitter that is trustworthy, reliable, and someone who will not hurt my children. I goto school during the week mon-fri from 8-330. You would only be watching my daughter on wed until July 14 th after that you will be watching both until school starts. My son is potty trained. You can watch them at my house or at yours. I cannot afford to pay much maybe $90 a week or so. Please contact me if this acceptable for you. Thanks - Jennifer Mathis.
                    She isn't asking much, but I am a terrible person. My first thought here was: "Well, if you don't want me to HURT your children, $90 a week just isn't going to cut it...I will need more than that." Sigh...seriously??? ::

                        Good luck getting that rate, especially when you only have 2 months of childcare experience! http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/kid/4559041642.html

                          She wants someone to get him to meet the criteria for kindergarten. The red flag is the several loving providers. You don’t leave a loving provider until you find one who meets your prep my boy for kindergarten needs.

                              And you have to have your own car. Nope. You wouldn't have money for anything else

                                Well, I suppose... maybe... If you have nanny experience, its possible. They supply room and board so you have no rent/mortgage or food expenses. They would supply everything needed to care for the kids.. (toys, educational activities, etc.) If the place is in a heavily populated enough area, and maybe on a bus route, you wouldn't need a car. You could use their washer/dryer, phone, and I'm guessing your "apartment" in their home has a television. It might work. True a hundred bucks a week is low, but aside from clothes for yourself, is there anything else you need that isn't obtainable on their dime? (I am quite sure I am missing something major here, so don't be afraid to tell me I'm nuts for actually agreeing that this could be a viable option for the right person)
