I didn't make anywhere close to that growing up. That is the reason I still haven't hired a babysitter. There are two good ones in our neighborhood - one right across the street. But geez I can take my kids to drop in daycare for $8.40 an hour and they aren't messing up my house (or I don't have to clean for the sitter)!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233870549989752437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405313626002602117.post-8761940904952148152008-09-05T14:13:00.000-05:002008-09-05T14:13:00.000-05:00We pay $5 per hour per kid too....

Going rate in ****** is between $5-6 per hour PER CHILD! My neighbor pays like $14 per hour for 3 kids!!! CRAZY! But, they have us outnumbered...shortage of good sitters who aren't doing every sport and extracurricular activity out there! Where were these rates when I was sitting?? Maybe I should start babysitting in the evenings and weekends. Wait, I take that back, I must be crazy!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036029641500871278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405313626002602117.post-85102211398504364012008-09-04T21:53:00.000-05:002008-09-04T21:53:00.000-05:00Wow!
