[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up pretty poor and this was a very common childcare arrangement. About half the mothers in our apartment building worked, and if this was you, you went to somebody else's house after school. The woman who used to take care of me after school used to clean her house and cook dinner for her family while I played with her kids, played on my own, or did homework. She was there if I needed something, but she did not "work" for my parents. She did get paid, but I'm sure it was nowhere near the equivalent of $15 /hr today. All this to say, please find out your friend's expectations. She may not be budgeting for "hiring a nanny."[/quote] How insane that you don't consider taking responsibility for a child, as work. Your attitude explains the hell of most childcare in our culture.[/quote]
