Sunday at church a lady asked if I would be interested in sitting her two children, 9 and 12. I don't have much experience with this before, do you think it's a good idea. The pay is ok and I could use the money, but the mother is also quite demanding and in my opinion have issues or ocd on how tidy and clean everything should be.

If they're good kids, and you already know them, go for it. You can always quit if it gets to be too much, or tell their mom, you need more money. Especially if cleaning needs to be done, aside from watching the children.

@Dv8rs thank you 😀. I think it's more like she might expect it to be tidy when the kids go to bed. Hopefully the kids will do most of it 🤣 if they don't, I'm fucked 🤣😅 and left with quite a bit to do before the mother gets back...

If that is the case, more work means more money. Don't be shy about it either, she asked you to watch kids, not clean house. Tell her you will, but you need more money. Don't let her take advantage of you.

@Dv8rs we agreed on 15$ an hour, including helping the kids do their chores, homework and keeping the place nice and tidy.

@Stubborn17 I'm happy you came to an agreement.
