adventures in babysitting
Well, home prices may be high here in Stumptown, but I pay less for babysitting than any of you. The very responsible oldest-child middle schooler (I think she's 13 now) across the street is Red Cross certified and only charges $5/hr. She's a gem--Magnus is always in bed asleep by the time we get home (contrast to once when she wasn't available and we had her less-responsible best friend, also Red Cross certified, come over. Magnus was still awake two hours past bedtime when we got home). As far as I can tell she never eats our food (though she'd certainly be welcome to). It's really nice to just watch for her to get to her door safely instead of having to schlep clear across town to take her home.
