Answer 1

My babysitting rates are

$5 an hour, per child. So that would be $15 dollars an hour in your case. and from 7am until 5:30, that would average about $175 if i did the math right. (if not, it isn't my fault, it's 2:54am) So that a day isn't all that bad if you ask me!

Answer 2

Wow! You are a stronger woman that I am! Talk about a lot of energy and responsibility!

Yeah, I agree....that's worth a good $250 a week!

Good luck, and God bless!
