[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just childcare, or will she be supervising distance learning for the 6 year old too? Is the 3 year old potty trained? Also, be prepared to compromise on some things.

We had a wonderful college student babysitter early in the pandemic who supervised DL for our two older kids, 4 and 6, and also watched our 2 year old who was in the process of potty training. She was really great. We didn't mind that the house was left a mess at the end of the day or that she used the toddler's naptime to get some homework done because the kids were so happy with her, the DL was done, she spent a ton of time outdoors with the kids and also did a lot of arts and crafts with them.

You have to let them take the nap as a break. Even a McDonald's worker at the crappiest McDonald's in the world gets 15min to pee and a 30min lunch break [/quote]

That’s true, but you don’t get paid for that time.  
I’m guessing that you have never actually worked at a McDonalds.  [/quote]

Was she able to leave the house during the toddler’s nap? If toddler woke up and needed something, was she responsible for handling? She was working and should indeed have been paid. You weren’t doing her some favor.[/quote]
