"I need a babysitter Mondays, Wednesday's, and Fridays from 10am-3pm for my 2 boys (3 and 3 months). I can pay $20 everyday they are there or $60 for the week no matter what. Comment or message below!"

Saw this on one of the county buy, sell or trade pages on facebook and it just boggles my mind. To top it off, there are 6 (so far within an hour of posting) comments of people willing to do it!! That's $10/day per child for 5 hours of care...equating to $2/hour/child. That's less than my daily rate for one child...I think the worst part about it is that it shows the state of our economy, if that is all a person is willing or able to pay to care for two children, one being an infant.
