[quote=Anonymous]This whole discussion is very interesting in light of the recent posts by SAHM/WFH moms asking "Am I being taken advantage of?" by fellow parents who want to ask others to facilitate school pick-up/drop-off. Clearly, there is a huge demand for a kind of "Substitute Mom" service--but nobody wants to pay for such a service because they feel entitled to the unpaid labor of their peers. Many posters were attacking the OPs saying they were selfish for prioritizing her own time and family's needs over the neighbors' request for regular unpaid babysitting services. I would think about repackaging your services into a kind of enrichment "class." You're not babysitting, you're teaching "baby music" or "baby yoga" or "after-school arts and crafts." In my area, those classes cost like 25-45 dollars per 45 min session.[/quote]
