[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - yeah, I definitely am NOT looking for some 28 year old with a MA who can drive my giant SUV (which I don't have). I only want a few days because I have a pretty flexible work schedule, working from home many days of the week, but I do need to go in at least once per week and sometimes more. My kid is old enough to just come home and do homework and chill before we go off to several activities later in the evening. I feel like this could definitely work for a HS student. I don't really need them to be able to drive, but that is sort of a "nice to have". I just don't get it, having a routine HS job is like another "activity" said high schooler can put on their college application while making some cash. [/quote] Your last sentence makes no sense. [/quote] Re-phrasing / explaining my point: Having a routine high school babysitting job is like (and just as good as) any other activity. The high schooler can put it on their college application just like they can put a sport, participation in music/drama, or other commercial job. [/quote] OP, I also think this should be a good job for a HS student, but I wouldn't go in with this as a selling point. Colleges absolutely do not view a regular babysitting job the same way that they view participation in a sport or activity, and HS kids know this.[/quote]
