Posted by Ssupermanis that the going rate ?
So, I inquired about a nanny to watch my kids for a few days during the summer. She said she wanted $ 18/hr to watch 2 kids. Do the math on that. If she watches them 10 hours a day for 5 days a week that's $ 46,800/yr!

Posted by nikkistarConsidering my kids can fend for themselves, it is. I mean, that's $ 3,600/mo to sit on your ass and watch soaps all day
That's not very much for a 50 hour work week, in my opinion.
Posted by SsupermanIf this is the case, then you don't need a nanny. Most people hire nannies for smaller children, therefore there is no "sitting on one's ass". If your kids are at an age that they can fend for themselves, then they can easily be sent to a day camp.Posted by nikkistarConsidering my kids can fend for themselves, it is.

I'd let him watch my 8 year old daughter if their mother wouldn't try to have me arrested or something. Hence, why I can't/won't leave them home alone. Nearest place I could take him is 30mins in the opposite direction from the Aries work path. It's simply not feasible.click to expand

I'll break it down into logistics since you wanna try to be an ass on this.
Say I take them to the day camp. I can't do it because I leave the house at 2:45-3am to get to work. The Aries can't do it because they don't take them before 6:30am. She has to be downtown at 8. There's no possible way to make it there in time. So, the answer is still a big fat NO

So one I'm assuming is $ 9.00. Summer camp is much more expensive than daycare and just regular babysitting because it's a short period of time not the whole year.
