Babysitting/cleaning

I babysit 4 children in THEIR home 20 hours a week. It is a very messy home. I'm a "neat freak". Does anyone think that the parents would mind if I started cleaning. I wouldnt reorganize, just clean. ...

Most of you know the problems I've had getting paid for babysitting 4 children part time. I asked the wife tonight if they could pay me tomorrow, Friday. She went on to day her next few checks were spoken for (she gets paid twice a month) with bills. I told her I was keeping an invoice and left. After thinking about it, I decided to send her husband a text. I sent him a picture of the running charges. I told him I would babysit one more week, bu ...

I have posted before about babysitting 4 children a few nights a week. Upon hire, I was told I would get paid $35 a night (5 hours). I have logged in 4 nights. I have only gotten paid $75 so far - and that was after I pretty much had to beg for it. I really enjoy the kids, they are great and I have a lot of fun. How do I address this issue? My daughter (21 YO) helped me type up a babysitting log in my Excel program, keeping track of dates, charges and pay.&nb ...

Hello out there...my 22-year-old is home from college this summer and is going to take care of my neighbor's 2 daughters, ages 5 and 6, a couple of days a week probably for around 8 hours a day. What would be a good rate for her to charge? It's been so long, I don't even have a clue. I used to do daycare before my illustrious transcription career so I know people can't pay a normal minimum wage. Would 5/hr be good? Any suggestions would be greatl ...

I just want to s-c-r-e-a-m!!! I'm screaming here so I don't here at home. My little girl has way too much stuff. It starts in the summer when she has her birthday and keep building until Christmas when her room is about to explode. Her toy box is overflowing. Her hutch/drawers for art work is so full the drawers won't close. She can't walk inside her walk-in closet unless she walks on top of 6 inches of stuff. So much of it is stuff she won't/can ...

Well, made a huge Thanksgiving dinner (and I have to admit the oven hadn't been cleaned in a few weeks before that) and cleaned the oven today. Didn't realize how bad it was until the smoke started filling the kitchen and living room. I am surprised smoke detectors didn't go off before I got windows open. I think I should still be using Easy-Off. At least then I did it on a more regular basis. The smoke has quit, but whole house still smells smokey. ...

I have gone through messages, deleted a few. If people are talking about the issues I do not want to delete those posts. I will try to address what I read below: Calling posters bully's. I read the messages they were referencing and there was no bullying. A poster is voicing their difference of opinion. That is not biullying. People are calling people names and when the name is called back to them they are claiming bulllying, lying, etc. Having a differ ...

I am in the process of cleaning up the board. I am trying to get the board back to it's intent - To discuss issues regarding politics. All insults, ridicule, disrespectful, harrassing disparaging, villification, etc posts will be gone. No side is free from blame. Any posts calling politicians names will be gone. Any posts calling posters names will be gone. Any foul language will be gone. Any taking the conversation off topic and trying to deny ano ...

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me, someone who has experience in this. I have very shiny white tile floors, I guess they're porcelain. I wanted to clean my kitchen grout, so I used a very highly-recommended grout cleaner on the grout, then went over the entire floor with a mild detergent with my wet/dry vac. When it was all dried, I noticed a horrible film, almost like a million little water spots over the entire floor. Some are actually swirls. I troubleshooted this over the ph ...

There have been way too many insults here directed at other posters.Please stick with political topics.For some that has been too difficult to do. If you insult posters, take the message off topic because you don't like another persons opinion your post will be removed. If you insult you will be banned. No more name calling. That means calling people stupid, haters, racists, and all the other insults that I have removed.This board is for people to talk about politica ...

she ate several Jolly Rancher candies while here and for some reason just had second thoughts about that. Just looked up drugs and perhaps relating to Jolly Ranchers. Does anyone with more knowledge about this able to fill me in? Before people start talking about our salaries and affording house cleaning, only 2 days per month and some health issues keep me from doing it all. ...

I find that when I'm working at home, my time is spent mostly trying to get my lines in, and I don't have a whole lot of time left, and I get behind on my cleaning and other household chores. My days off are often spent trying to catch up. I have three children (10 and twins 7). The oldest one tries to help a lot, but the other two not so much. I have to find a way to get them more involved in helping. I also have a sick husband who is at the point where h ...
