Never realized how difficult

It would be to find someone to babysit in my home.

I am literally pulling my hair out at this point. Part of the issue is probably the fact I only need someone constant 1 day a week  and then its only 7 hours total.... and occasionally 2 days a week.

I dont know if the number of children is what scares people away. The oddness of the hours. Or the fact I refuse to pay more than the going local rate. If you are worth $20 an hour with no degree you better be able to cook and clean while you are at it!

Sitter City was a bust... there are a few semi-locals listed, no one wants to sit in someone else's home. They havent logged into their accts in 6 months or more, or they are high school students looking for after school random jobs.

A daycare center wont work for us, because of the bus schedule for 2 of the kids. Maybe I should just drop out of school and become a babysitter myself!

Ugh.

  2. Have you tried Craigslist? Asked the neighborhood kids? Asked relatives in the area? If none of those ideas work, just sell the kids. JK.
