You revived the thread for this?

I've been a teacher in both daycare classrooms and elementary school classrooms. In every school I have taught in it has been against policy to babysit for students.

A teaching assistant might consider it. They are seriously underpaid. In my earlier years of teaching, I might have been willing to babysit during the summer but definitely not while the child was in my class. It's certainly not as inappropriate as the dad who asked me out after a parent-teacher conference.

What about a teaching assistant. Like a mid-20s first-year teaching assistant, who is "finding herself" career-wise and seemingly adores the kids?
