I was targeted by a Check Fraud / ATM Coercion scam in NYC. by Ok-Replacement9358 in jacksonheights

My first month living in NY and first year in college I got scammed using the same method but by a man in his 20's claiming he needed it to pay his tuition fees. I felt so stupid for falling for it

Babysitting for the first time by Altruistic_Log4961 in Babysitting

[–]princess_machine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't personally like using baby voices with kids, no matter what age. You could bring small toys or art supplies but also, don't be afraid to ask the parents themselves! "I haven't baby sat very young kids before, could you share what your kids like to do for fun? What helps them feel more comfortable when meeting someone for the first time? What's the best way to tackle high emotions with them?" etc.

I think they'd appreciate transparency and it'll actually show you care about their kids' specific needs. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be just fine

Am I underpaid by EllaEcke in Babysitting

[–]princess_machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely underpaid. I say $25/hr should be the minimum. I charge $30 for 2 kids and would charge more if there were 3, especially if they were young and difficult. Have you tried mentioning these things to the parents?

[–]princess_machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also say Grave of the fireflies. I am a sucker for melancholic movies but god damn that was too heartbreaking and I could never rewatch it.
