[quote=Anonymous]I have been lucky so far. DD is not in school yet ( she is 4) but we need childcare 10 days a month from 2.30-6.30.
During the summer last year when this schedule started we found a HS neighbor willing to do those hours. We paid her $10 an hour to come to our house. She was only 15 so wasnt driving, it was an issue maybe twice but we worked it out. Her Mom actually took our DD somewhere once in their car and used a spare booster we have.
During the school year a SAHM friend of mine who has a 5yo watches her. She picks her up from our house because its on the way to her older childs school and then I pick DD up from her house at 6.30. DD has dinner at their house. She only has to drive DD to an activity twice a month and she takes her 5yo with her. We bought her her own booster to keep in her car for this.
The HS sitter is going to do it again next summer then my friend will take over again for the school year and pick up both our kids from K.
I pay my friend $10 an hour as well, I realize this seems low but she has her own child with her so I feel like its more like a share. Anytime they go anywhere that costs money we always pay for that and even if she doesnt have DD some of the pre-arranged days we still pay her.[/quote]
