My friend lives next door to me. We now have an arrangement where she babysits my children once a week for 1-2 hours while I go to class, just until my husband get home from work. For this favor she asked $8 an hour. When I do favors for her I get no reimbursement (giving her rides, watching her dog while she vacations, lending her textbooks etc).
She has decided that she doesn't want to go back to her work-study this semester so she has a lot of free time on her hands now. She has asked if she could babysit my children on Tuesday and Thursdays while I am in class. I currently take them to a daycare center. She says she could use the money, plus this way she can "do her homework and stuff" while babysitting which she couldn't do at her work.
My problem is that when she babysits she is rarely on time, thus making me late. She also does things like asking for their carseats so she can run errands and grocery shop etc. She sometimes takes them to her house so she can cook and clean.
