I learned that I have the most boring job on the face of the Earth
But I get paid $9/ hr to be bored all day, so it's all good.
Peace Out

God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God, Grant us the peace that comes from honest dealings so that no fear of discovery will haunt our sleep May we inflict no pain, bring no shame, and seek no profit by another's loss.

First: I am not babysitting those two kids anymore (and very glad in recent developments with getting my final pay outta the parents........but that's a long story and I'm getting ready for work right now)
Second: I got an in-home health care job where a company sends me to elderly people's houses to assist them..........though 90% of the time all the people a person is assigned to wants is someone to sit there and talk with them, maybe make the bed and fix meals.
Currently: I have once client Monday to Sunday (I worked yesterday cuz it's the other lady's birthday.....so 8 days instead of 7) from 9 AM to 7:30 PM. In that time, I get the client out of bed and dressed. Walk with him to the kitchen table (he walks VERY slow). After breakfast (which his wife makes), I walk him to the bathroom, morning hygiene, etc and back to his chair. Then I sit down...........I walk with him to the table for lunch and supper and as needed to the bathroom..........on occasion (when needed) I dust or vacume the house.
^That job is one week on ; one week off^
In my "off" weeks I have another client (same company) who I go to Moneay to Thursday from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM.........I put his shoes and socks on as he is dressed by the time I arrive, make lunch and other than that sit down and watch TV until 3:30. If it's needed, I do some light housework. On rare occasion he wants to go out someplace.
I also care for the mother of one of the pastors at the FWB Church I go to. (that's not company.....this is a private arrangement). Now she is a bit more work than the people I help with in my company, but still not hard work..........getting her up for meals, and taking her back to her room (she specifically tells you when she's ready to go back to her room). She is deaf and doesn't know sign language, so communication gets hard at times.
And finally I have been hired as a babysitter at the FWB Church (evidently they do pay the babysitters when it's not a church service). I do that as needed provided I'm not at my other job at the time they need a babysiitter. That's fund. the kids are all cute.
All in all.........keeping my work schedule straight in my head is more interesting than the work itself, but as I said, I get paid $9 / hr (with the company) to be bored out of my mind..........so it's all good. I get room & board from the pastor for helping with his mom.........we haven't yet discuseed payment, though I'm not pushing for payment, room & board is plenty as far as I'm concerned since I do work another job where I make plenty of money.....when I'm "home", it's not going to kill me to help out with his mom or do some housework. I also don't know for sure how much I'll end up getting paid for babysitting..........I'm still a bit uncomfortable with the entire arrangement of being paid for it......but if that's how they do things.......I don't want to offend them by protesting the way they do things in the church either.
