I watch her 2 year old & I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old. I take the kids to museums, zoos, and other special places. We live in Denver and she pays me 0/month for full time. She makes plenty to afford a stoller.
Thanks, but my four year old DOES NOT ride in a stroller anymore… it’s her two year old and my baby
I don’t appreciate the rude remarks. How did Dmercer get that I take my kids to work with me out of this. I am a stay at home mom/military wife if she is calling that work. Anyway… 0 is the least I would expect. Considering it would cost more at public care, where he would also get much less attention. I watched a 2 girls for 6 months a couple years ago, whoc were five and seven. I got 50/month for them & they weren’t in diapers!

I think that you are doin her a favor watching this kid for 600.00 a month. I wouldnt care to mention it to her. If she was a nice person she would would be glad to buy you a stroller,and to have a sitter like you,and more than that I would probably want to spend a little on a stroller than to have to pay someone else more to babysit. She could maybe find one at a consinment shop or yard sale.

She’ll probably say, you’re the one with 2 kids. You can try it though. Maybe ask her if she knows of any, and she might volunteer to buy one lol

No you have more children than she does..You my dear should already own one. But you can ask her but I don’t feel she is obligated to do so, or maybe ask her to pay half.

You should just buy it and use it as a tax deduction at the end of the year. I think it is unreasonable for you to ask her to pay for it all, but half wouldn’t be. I have to pay all kinds of little fees at my son’s daycare. For school supplies, Field trips and all that stuff, even though he isn’t old enough to go on the Field trips. Plus I pay about 600 a month in care as well, talk to her about it and see how she feels about it, I mean especially if you are taking the kids out and spending money and its all included in the "tuition" of your care.

try asking her to go in half with you…

I think that if you tell her the reason you want the double stroller, she may go for it! You sound like a great sitter, one that takes the kids to places, most sitters keep the kids at home only! Ask, the worse is for her to say NO!

It is not her responsibility to buy a stroller for your kids to ride in. She only has one stroller, she doesnt need a double stroller. I think you should be pretty thankful that you can even take your kids with you to work and save up some money and find a cheap double stroller in a consignment shop or a Goodwill. It doesnt matter if she makes plenty enough to afford a stroller, it isnt her job to be buying your kids things, its yours. $600 a month to be able to bring your kids with you to work, go to the zoo, museums, and other special places sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. You could be flipping burgers at McDonalds and spending your paycheck on daycare. Or you could be making $1400 a month at a different job and spend $800 on daycare, leaving you with the same $600 you have now. I think you are pretty lucky and the last thing you should be doing is expecting her to buy a bigger stroller for your kids.

I think it’s fair that you pay half. However, you could ask her first and just maybe you will get lucky.
