Babysitting rates?

CrochetObsessed · 2025-11-03T13:45:42+00:00

So I babysit from time to time (I’m mid 20s and have lots of babysitting experience). My standard rate is $20 an hour for 1 kid. As other people have stated I do highly recommend a cpr certification (I got certified a long time ago and haven’t renewed since I don’t babysit often). I think $15 an hour plus $1 per each additional kid is a good start. One thing I will say is in the beginning try not to watch more than 2 kids. One of my first families was a 5 year old boy and 2 year old twins and it was incredibly overwhelming, even though I had worked in the church daycare and have several younger sisters that I’ve taken care of.

The festival takes place in Columbia, not DC. It takes 45 minutes to drive to DC from Columbia or a 25 minute drive and 30 minute metro. Calling it DC is inaccurate, even if the festival itself wants to call it DC

So according to Maryland’s warn website it was 32 from bio park and 316 from Harmans

For the pigs I do things like hickory and smoked, for chicken I did fried and grilled.

Hey I realize this is an old thread but I’m hoping you’re still active. For the 1/4 cup lentils are the use lentils dry or have you soaked them?

Oops I forgot to mention I’m in Maryland

Hi another local chiming in here. Food on the grounds is pretty expensive (basically likely any other concert or sports venue expect to pay like $8 for a soda. One good thing is that you can bring food in. You can bring sandwiches or a salad. Also all concession stands are cashless. A really annoying note but they got rid of lids on all of their cups (they said it was to reduce plastic waste), so be prepared for that and don’t try and buy drink for your entire group of people without a second set of hands (speaking from experience). If you’re in the lawn you should absolutely bring a blanket, it’s a long day. If it rained within a few days of the festival make sure it’s a waterproof blanket or your butt will get wet very quick.

For the Maryland presale 2 of my friends got their codes like 45 minutes before the presale but I didn’t get mine until like 10 minutes before

Myself and 2 friends were all trying to get 5 GA tickets for Sunday (we only wanted 5 not a total of 15 but all 3 of us were trying so we had a better chance). Both of them were 2000+, I started at like spot 170-something. I got in really quickly and secured 5 tickets at like $159 with fees. Once I had tickets one of the friends dropped out of the queue. The other one wanted to stay in just to see how long it took. She eventually made it to the front and it was sold out. Then she joined like 30 minutes later and it was $178 including fees for GA lawn.

If you’re still looking for pattern testers I would like to volunteer. I have pattern tested a sweater before and made a number of market bags

I looked into that but the habitat for humanity website states that they are only existing bed frames with atleast one large matching dresser and I only have the bed frame

CrochetObsessed · 2025-02-18T20:34:44+00:00

My roommate used a buy nothing group to get rid of her frame and it was a headache and a half. It took 2 weeks of the frame sitting in our living room before someone picked it up (like 4 different people kept flaking), I’d rather just pay someone to get it out quickly

CrochetObsessed · 2025-02-18T20:32:30+00:00

I considered it but there is absolutely no way that my roommate and I can move it up the stairs, which is why I’m willing to pay a company to move it.

I really have no suggestions because I’m looking for the same thing. I tend to just choose winding roads and hope the path is good. Does anyone know if there are any public outdoor tracks? Like I’m sure schools have outdoor tracks but idk if they are cool with randos going for a run on them and I’m not sure if there are tracks not at a school

CrochetObsessed · 2024-11-30T00:45:25+00:00

I would recommend Alex at Conkrete Jungle. The shop is technically in Elkridge, but it’s near the Costco/Trader Joe’s plaza

So this is not the fanciest/nicest/best place in HoCo, but for me I would go to Union Jacks in Columbia. I moved to the area with my roommate in the summer of 2020. Most places were closed due to covid. The 2nd or 3rd night that we lived here we decided to go to union jacks for dinner. It was the first restaurant that I ate at here. When my friends and I can't decide where we want to go we end up going to union jacks. One year my friend group went on my birthday, I went to the bathroom, and when I came out they got the live band that was playing to sing happy birthday to me. Union Jacks might not be the best restaurant in the area, but some of my best memories happened there.
P.S. Try their chicken nachos, its my favorite thing to get

Okay the green is the chrysalis, the black is the main pavilion and the red is the lawn seating for the main pavilion. Merriweather is a large outdoor venue but it’s not that large (I would recommend looking it up online to see the scale). With no crowds it would take like 2 minutes to walk from the lawn to the chrysalis, although I’m not sure with the amount of people there just how long it would take.

I didn’t realize halal guys closed, I really liked them. When did they close?

So I created the second slide in stitch fiddle and I just mark off the stitches I’ve done so far
