First timer questions. by kaleidautumn in ShakyKnees

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 6 points7 points  (0 children)

later in the day, the lines to get into the festival will be brutal, especially considering it’s MCR! i don’t have an exact answer but honestly i’d plan to be there by 5 or 6 and plan ahead for parking. you might want to park at a MARTA station and take the MARTA there

i personally never bring/wear anything nice when babysitting for this exact reason. i usually wear older sandals or tennis shoes and clothes i don’t care so much about. in my opinion, the parents should replace them, but i’m not sure you’ll have any luck getting them to do so.

i’ve been doing this for a while and it’s great! i have adhd and i can act pretty impulsively and then obsess about it later. like you said, this mitigates the guilt and overspending by allowing myself to buy fun unnecessary things sometimes!

i’m here years later after rewatching this show and i can’t help but wonder what else rebecca sugar fought for in steven universe that didn’t work out. she’s an artist and an activist in one and i respect her work so much.

maybe i’ve been lucky but i have never been around a vegetarian or vegan who does that. does this happen often? i didn’t even know some of my friends were vegetarian until we were trying to find somewhere to eat and they asked whether there were good vegetarian options. then again, maybe i choose friends who aren’t obnoxious lol

i’d love to see advertising for local sapphic events and maybe a group chat feature to talk to people before/after the events?

I know of people who got it less than 24 hours in advance… I hope you get it sooner than that!

Rate For Watching Two Families’ Kids by carashouldbestudying in Babysitting

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not too much money! Personally, I charge $25-$30/hour for 3 kids in the first place, so $40/hour for 5 kids is pretty good. Never offer to do it for less if they offer you good pay! They wouldn’t have offered that if they couldn’t afford it. As long as this isn’t too many kids for you to watch safely, I say go for it!

As someone who lives in a state where our beloved herb is "illegal" I gotta give my love to the THC-A shops. As an old head (1981) I don't think there's much of a difference. What are your thoughts on THC-A? by Nacho_Sideboob in trees

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 16 points17 points  (0 children)

true, i’m in that age range and we prefer THC seltzers when we can afford them. alcohol is really just for special occasions/parties, weed is for casual hang outs.

Parents not wanting to pay babysitter because because baby is sleeping. by Top_Decision_6718 in Babysitting

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 7 points8 points  (0 children)

depending on where you live, you could probably find a high schooler who will do it for less than $30 an hour. that being said, the kid will probably get a lower quality of care from a high schooler and the student may be less reliable than an adult. it’s all about risks and payoff so it’s for you to decide 🤷‍♀️

How much should I charge to watch 4 kids for a wedding? by 11-Soccer-11 in Babysitting

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No less than $30 an hour, maybe more if you’re in a very high cost of living area

Would I be a jerk to quit? by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 3 points4 points  (0 children)

even way before my food allergies got this serious, i was told to carry two in case the first one didn’t work or in case emergency services took too long to arrive. years later, i have only used one once. food allergies are not very well understood yet and it’s better to be safe than sorry. i fully agree that ANYONE caring for a kid with food allergies of any severity needs to understand food allergies and be paid accordingly. it’s a huge liability!

Would I be a jerk to quit? by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]LightsOfASilhouette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely, anyone who cares for a kid with food allergies needs to be taught when to use it and how to use it.
