I need to know because I have a buissness called Summer Sitter and I have no clue how I'm gonna entertain so many kids at once. Don't say watch TV. Thank you! :)


Answer
How cute and what a fun idea. I hope you know what you are in for!

-Make play dough! http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Salt-Doâ¦
You can even take a small food storage container (of yours) to have the kids decorate with stickers, etc. that will hold their play dough it.

--Go outside!
Play with chalk.
Blow bubbles. (you can even make them)
Take a walk/bike ride
Visit a park
Have a picnic
Bring some water guns
Do a scavenger hunt: Have them find a pink flower, a blue car, etc.

-Decorate a pillow case
Buy some cheap pillow cases, and write their name on it in sharpie. Get some fabric markers for them to decorate the pillow with.

-DANCE!
Put some songs like: The Macerana, the twist, chicken dance, hokey pokey, electric slide, etc. on a CD or a playlist on your ipod. Turn off the lights, expect for some dimmed ones or a lamp, even try to get a disco ball! Let them dance freely, or play freeze dance.

-Play games!
Hide and seek
Twister
Go fish
Slap Jack
Candy Land

-Bowling
Set up a bowling alley with some water bottles or plastic cups as pins, and a soup can as the ball.

-Frost cookies!
Make some cookies before the kids get there, or you go to their house. Let them put frosting and sprinkles on the cookies.

-ColoIring
You can take big poster boards and stamps, stickers, markers... Or you can print off coloring sheets, and have them make their own coloring book

--Limbo...

-Movie "theater"
Bring 4-5 movies for them to pick from, make tickets, have a concession stand.
A fun idea with this topic is if you can bring some large cardboard boxes to make fake cars out of and have a pretend drive in movie.

Just be creative!!

How much is considered a good pay per hour in todays world?

How much do u need to make a hour to live comfortably on? No kids. No Wife.


Answer
That all depends on a few factors. A "comfortable wage" differs between San Joaquin and San Francisco, for starters. My 2/1 apartment in Fresno runs $850 per month. For the same layout in as nice a neighborhood in, say, Anaheim, you can go ahead and double the rent. Let's say you're picking a nice starter apartment for $650.

Secondly, your lifestyle has a major impact on your financial needs. Obviously you have internet, so there's $40 a month. With cable, you can easily add another $30 to that monthly tab. Then there's a matter of utilities. In temperate regions, you can expect a $50 monthly electric bill, with another $10 gas for a 1/1 (you're a single guy, right?)
Start running that air conditioner in the summer, and you can expect at least another $100 in the summertime (I used to live in a 2/1 apartment with a $300 monthly summer electric bill, so you want to factor that in).
Groceries round off another $150 per month, let's say you use $40 in gas per week (that's $160 monthly) if you plan on driving. For simplicity's sake, let's assume for a minute that you've paid in full for your '91 Taurus that you found on Craigslist, so we'll keep a car payment off of the budget (for now), but factor in another $75 for insurance, and say you like to eat out twice a week (there's another $160 monthly).

With this example, you're looking at monthly expenses of $1325. Broken down into 4-40 hour workweeks, you would need to earn $331.25 per week, or $8.28 per hour. So, in a smaller town, you could survive, just barely, on California Minimum wage.

My advice? Save up for a vasectomy and find a good woman to split the rent with.
