so after hearing on NPR that babysitters charge $12.75 per hour on average, I upped my rates.

I'm babysitting tonight and my demands are
1) one game of scrabble before el leaves, one when she gets home.
2) obvs I get to shower.
3) I get free reign of all leftovers in the fridge.
4) I'm allowed to have boys over.
5) red wine, eleanor. *red* wine.

I am the worst babysitter ever, but I'm pretty inexpensive.
