pay is rubbish, even after midnight at the weekend its £5.80 an hour

(I normally charge £8 and double after midnight).... and they often ask my to babysit 20+ miles away or over half an hours travelling time.

I often dont accept unless close to home on a weekday! (though if u dont accept and average of 1/4 bookings they stop asking you
There are a couple of families close by who i LIKE babysitting for who always give generouse amounts extra.

I prefer to babysit through my LOCAL nanny agency where i get £6.50 / hour (£8 after midnight, and i am ONLY asked to babysit closeish to my home as the lady who runs it know where i am happy (and not happy) to go!

but most of all i prefer to babysit for my local people (mainly ex charges and their freinds) who pay me even more still!
