I am a stay at home mom looking to watch children in my home.?

Question

I am located in northern nj and I am looking for one or two children to watch in my home. Does anyone know of any sites besides craigslist that I can use to get people interested?

Answer 1

Check your newspaper.

Answer 2

this is a homeschooling site.  this is not the right area for this question.  I watched kids in my home for a short while.  I posted an ad in the paper that I was looking to watch kids in my home.  It is a lot of work.  I didn't like it because I worked really hard but the mom didn't want to pay me what I was worth.  She wanted to pay me $6.00 for watching an infant and a three year old.  They were very difficult children.  Very spoiled.  It was exhausting to me so I stopped doing it but you could get lucky and find a great situation.  The best thing would be to watch kids whose mom is a teacher because then you would get school holidays and summers off.  Good luck.
