I babysat tonight, for the first time since December, I think, and for someone I had never sat for before (I spent too much money lately, so I posted an ad on Craigslist offering my babysitting services

You're right. Six dollars an hour sounds perfect. You are here-by hired indefinatly for all my kid-watching needs in the future (which if I do have them will be numerous) and I'd like to set that price in stone now if I can.
That is generous though. I charge $10 for one person, $15 for two and $20/hr for three or more, and I'm just tutoring biology. Of course, I do see your point about context. I deal with sorority girls which are much more high maintence and dependant than nine-year olds.
Anyways, glad to hear you are still alive. I am too. I actually saw in the news 7 people being shot on Capital-Hill at a "Better off Undead" rave and I thought....you know maybe I'll see if Aislinn was there and/or typing about other things on LiveJournal if she wasn't. When I realized that other party-goers were 15yrs I figured you weren't in attendance, but I'm still glad anyways to hear you didn't get shot. I was concerned, albiet briefly.
Yay Stephanie! It has been too long, you should update. I want dirt on your happy home life... unless there is no dirt, and it's really just happy, in which case BORING, but you should update anyway.
And unless I'm really poor, I fully intend to watch your children for free, because that's how "Aunties" are supposed to work. I mean, I'll be raising the brat, and probably instilling it with all my own morals, so really, it's a fair trade.
You are really lucky. I don't know if you remember a post I made a long time ago about a terrible babysitting experience...but let's just say I've substantially upped my rates and trust no one, no matter how long I've been babysitting for them.
