I think it is because I live in Lexington. Most of the time it is just 1 3 year old but sometimes there are 4 children. I am NOT getting paid enough and they are not paying me enough money for the gas and wear and tear on my car. It is 15-20 miles away. It takes me 40 min each way. She wants to pay me $7 for 1 kid plus more for all 4 plus $25 a week for gas. This is crap because I am going to just break even and babysit for free at this rate. I mean they need to just get a babysitter who lives near them. I am about to turn 23 and I am very mature, responsible, dependable, caring, and loving. I majored in sociology and want to go to grad school next fall for an art therapy masters program. Please help me figure out what to nicely tell this mom. I mean she is really great and her kids are sweet and well behaved but this is a little ridiculous. I am not being mean, I am being reasonable. Name: Email: Subject
