A friend wants me to "babysit" her jr school age ADHD son while they go out of town for two weeks and I have no idea what the rates are. How do I find out? What would you charge? My youngest is 21 and I never paid anyone to babysit them.... "Hello Mom... Want the kids for the weekend????"

I am not sure that I would take that responsibility.
How well do you know the kid, his problems and needs?
Is he aggressive?
Does he view as an authority figure to be respected and obeyed?
Can you handle his meds?
What would you do if you had a real problem, could you get in contact with his mom?
I have a niece who has a son with the problem, the story gets very ugly.

I do not fear for our future, it's to late for that.

He is the son of a friend. My son has babysat him in the past... ADHD runs in my family. My mom probably had it, I have it, both my kids have it. My main concern is getting paid a fair rate. She says he is pretty self sufficient, but he just needs to be accountable to someone and can make his own meals. My son said he is manageable as long as he is on his meds. Thanks for the concern.

Life's a bitch and then you die, so sit down, shut up, hang on and enjoy the
ride.

Annie;....Both You and I know that this condition' severity is different from one case to the next. If you are willing to listen to some of my thoughts....not just hear ...but listen, I hope they will help.
Reading your blog/comment raises more than a few "RED FLAGS!"
Frank J. has some very valid points to ponder!
Why is he not going with your friend?
Can you do an overnight trial run?
C.Y.A....Get temporary "Power of Attorney"...just
.....in case; medical,police,anything in general!
You will be providing 24/7 care! Check the......
....monthly rate at a nursing/retirement home.
I believe it is about $150.00~$200.00 per day at
...the minimum
I know you don't throw the word "friend" around .
...loosely, Girl you could ask me and for you I'd
do it for nothing....only after covering all the bases!

My friend and her husband are combining a vacation and a business meeting. She has a cell phone. Normally my son babysits and may still do it, but he is suppose to be looking for work. We do not want him turning down work or not looking for a job because he is babysitting Adam. I am not to worried about the ADHD part. If nothing else I will get a prescription for tranks and ignore him. He is a good kid and very intelligent. His dad makes big bucks and I think part of the reason the Adam acts out is cause his mom ignores him. He is in private school and in the summer they ship him off to think tank camps. I am not worried I can handle him. But I will get paid for my inconvenience. This started out as 5 days, they were going to fly and now it is 2 weeks, they decided to take the train.

Usquequaque in fimus, tantum sublimitas varius.

Youth passes, but with luck immaturity can last a lifetime.

I have a over a months stock of Adderal in my medicine cabinet that I haven't taken from the last time I was on meds. It is better than Ritalin. The Ritalin acts like a tranquilizer on people with ADHD. It stimulated the calming mechanism in you brain. People with ADHD have short attention spans and want constant stimulation. They usually are labeled with learning disorders because they don't sit still, my son flew through his lessons and would start pestering the kids next to him or roll on the floor cause he was bored. They are usually very intelligent but get bad grades in school. The test is boring and doesn't hold their attention. Thomas Edison had ADHD. They are constantly into stuff. In girls it is often not noticed because their head is in the could and they are considered dreamy and spacey. My mind is constantly turning but I have a hard time slowing down and explaining what I am thinking. I think in images and paths and not words so much. My ex told me their was no point in my going to college cause I would never complete it. At todays count I have 3 Associates Degrees and 13 Certificates. When we get the bachelors degree going at the college I will probably get back on meds so I can concentrate one of those also. I get bored reading the books and fall asleep reading them. I have had to learn behavior modifications so I can follow through and complete tasks that are boring. Things like setting a timer for 15 minutes and staying on task for that amount of time and then giving myself a break. Pumping gas, (petrol not farts) seems to take ten minutes. I counted seconds several times and it takes about 60 to 90 seconds. I can stand still for 1 minute and not be impatient. It helped me put things in perspective.
The short version of this is: You know the kid that is constantly bouncing off the wall driving you nuts and you wish you had a roll of duct tape to wrap around his mouth to shut his incessant questions up and tape him to the wall cause he is into everything and won't f@#king sit still. He probably has ADHD.

I understand your main concern,getting paid for your services and getting paid fairly.Can you contact social services and ask them for some referals as to what is a fair price,then get some kind of legal contract drawn up between you and your friend,something to back you if the price you agreed on goes sour.Just a suggestion,Mayetta

Well, as a babysitter, I respect the $8-10 an hour, depending on how watched the kid needs to be. $8 if they are fine with watching a movie the entire time. $10 if I need to put in the movie.

Just Kidding!!

kind of. I'm overachieving by school standards (taking a full schedule, 3 AP classes, the rest hard) but everyone else trying to apply to good colleges is doing the same as me
