[quote=Anonymous]How old do you think is ok to be a latchkey children after school for just 30 minutes, two afternoons per week? I am trying to make my new work schedule work and the best I can come up with is that scenario. I'm only part time and so paying for full aftercare just isn't affordable. Many days the school bus runs late so the children might only be home for about 15-20 minutes or so, but they would need to walk home form the bus stop (about 3 blocks from our house); let themselves in; and get a snack or hang out before starting HW. AM trying to decide if I need to find a sitter for just those two afternoons and if it is even likely that someone would want such a job. What is the minimum age you would consider such a scenario? What about if the time alone were one hour, not 30 minutes? That's my other possibility -- 1 hour, 1 X per week.[/quote]
