[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be looking for a 16-18 year old and I'd assume I'd pay her $20/hour. [/quote]

That's silly. The parent is HOME. I'd look for a 12-14 yr old and pay $10 an hour.[/quote]

Other children also have homework to do when they get home. They are also tired.  I would never allow a child to get home from school and then immediately go to your house to amuse a 5 year old for two hours.  
OP needs to take care of her own child .[/quote]

Plus that 4-year old doesn’t want to do these things every day with a random 14-year old.
He wants his mom or siblings ti play with him.
Obviously this will be an unpopular opinion but you need to reevaluate treating your four-year-old as though he’s a bother who needs to be entertained. You said you have other kids and all of you will be home. Do you think having an outsider come into the home will make him less interested in spending time with the other people in your home? When you are all right there—he’s still going to want to be with mom and siblings, even if you hire a minder for him.[/quote]
