Because Melissa is a little older than the average baby sitter, parents know they can trust her, she's more mature. She is more mature, but that doesn't mean that she's too old for fun and games with the kids. She plays whatever they want, whether it's cowboys and Indians, Barbies or board games. "I don't just sit and watch TV," Melissa said. She said the going rate in Utah County is about $1 an hour per child. And with that money, she spends some on fun activities, the rest goes into her savings account for college.

I asked him every day after school, because if I do not run down a checklist of his possessions every day we are doomed. "It's not here," he would answer every few weeks, as if its disappearance from the classroom basket was a mystery that actually has nothing to do with him. My husband shares the defect. "My glasses are gone," he announces as he is driving the entire family in the car. This does not make me feel good, because he is supposed to wear those glasses while driving the car. "Where are they?" I ask. "I lost them," he answers. This does not surprise me since he keeps them everywhere but inside the case.
