I’m thinking g about opening up my babysitting services again but only “part time.” I’m not ready to babysit M-F like I used to. I’d prefer only a few days a week. Are these prices outrageous? I live in a small town in Tennessee. I know a lot of people in my town that don’t have reliable child care and I’d like to offer some but I’d also like to make a little income if possible from it.
@momgroupreject, I think this is a good suggestion.
Are you going to charge a flat fee regardless of the amount of time? I wouldn’t, especially since meals and snacks will be provided. You should include the hours you’re available and note you have some flexibility if additional time or different hours are needed.
@itskarina, I did with my full time babysitting it was $10 a day (usually 8 hours) M-F which is much cheaper than our local daycares so I had several interests and even had a couple of kiddos but they outgrew me and went onto school. I’m not really sure how to go about pricing with only part time because I know that everyone’s needs will be different and I am capable of flexibility so I’m not sure what good price ranges to start with are 🥴
@mamallama1721, 10/hr is fine I would say. But I pay $50/day for full time daycare with a licensed provider right now. Hopefully nobody will want you for full day babysitting like that. Otherwise $50 for a day would be totally acceptable. $10/hour +$5 for each additional child per hour would be super reasonable. I am just assuming you’d get a few short babysitting things a week. I’d personally rather have someone at my house though vs taking them to someone else’s house.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

I wouldn’t put socialization for $15. It sounds like you’re charging people for play dates lol also how long would the event night be? Since it’s most expensive you should include hours you’re available at night like 5-9 or 7-9 or whatever. $45 seems expensive if it’s just two hours but reasonable if it’s 4+.
