I am looking for a sitter for our foster son, who we plan to adopt early next year. Sitters for foster families must be licensed, which entails taking a CPR class (which I will pay for), having a background check, and current auto insurance. Also, they ust be 18 years of age. I am looking to hire someone on a regular, weekly basis, and I pay $10+ an hour for the one child, who is 19 months old.
This is a great way to make extra money, as there is a shortage of licensed childcare providers for foster families. Our agency desparately needs these types of people, so once you become licensed, you have a good potential to make a nice income.
