Rambunctious, Busy, High Spirited - these are code words for RUN VERY FAST IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! Plus, it's your neighbour and plus they used the word BABYSITTING. All bad!

Ok, if you want to do this and feel you can handle it and it will fit into your schedule then by all means charge enough so that you don't feel angry and used. Lay down the law for the parents before you get into it and make sure you have it all figured out.

This would not work for my daycare since I plan our morning outings and I wouldn't like the disruption of a child who wasn't tranisitioning in with the group on a regular basis. But you never know! You can try it and have a trial period to see if it works out or not. Good luck!
