[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC is in pre-K 4 until 3 pm daily and then gets bussed - currently we pay $800/mo for aftercare at a place that is comfortable and familiar to him. I pick him up at 6. He has some special needs (that require extra tutoring and therapy- no behavior or life skills issues)  and my DH has some medical limitations, and I’m so tired doing it all. I was doing the math and thinking we could afford to pay someone $15/hour or so to meet DS when he gets home and stay until six pm (so 3-6 pm). That person could do some housekeeping. So I guess a housekeeper/babysitting situation. The thing is, we cannot afford to pay a lot, and I’m worried that because of that the person won’t be reliable. And since that person would be meeting my child after school I would need them to be extremely reliable.  I’ve never employed someone like this in such a way that I count on them.  I’m used to daycare- always reliable minus the random snow day etc.  This seems like so much trust to put in one person.  I’d appreciate your thoughts on whether this sounds like a bad idea. I think we could probably bump up to $1000/mo if we cut expenses elsewhere. [/quote]

We pay $25/ hr for this time slot and she doesn’t do any housekeeping during that time, she makes a healthy snack and takes them to the playground orbplaydates or gives them a bath.  Anyone who is good will have their pick and won’t have to do housekeeping for such a small amount of hours.[/quote]
