Kaity's Kid Care

Kaity has been saving for a car since she was 4 and asked how much they cost. She wondered if she could get a discount if she wanted one without a top (convertible) since they were less car. No such luck kiddo! As time has gone one she's steadily tucked away her money and looked at ways to get a job. Her latest (and greatest imo) venture is Kaity's Kid Care. She has been told over and over by various friends and family that she has a way with kids. She is gentle and silly and babies/kids flock to her. Today she came to me and said she was thinking about starting her business soon to be a mothers helper. She would watch the children while moms did work around the house since she's too little to out and out babysit. Her dilemma? Pricing. Really?! at 8 1/2 you think about pricing?! She said she wanted her prices to be enough that she could get a good jump on her savings (really i don't know who she belongs too lol) but still inexpensive enough that people could use her over and over. SERIOUSLY!? She is thinking about $5 a day but is afraid that might be too expensive for families with more than 1 kid so she might only charge $3. She noodled it around some more and said "i need a phrase like geico...15 minutes can save you 15 or more on car insurance. that's catchy huh mom?" and she started tossing around ideas for her own phrase to catch peoples attention. She decided on "When you think there is no time at all, Kaity's Kid Care is the one you should call!" and she came up with it entirely on her own. I love that she has mastered the concept of delayed gratification and saving up for something she wants. I don't know that it will make it all the way to her first car but I am enjoying watching this all unfold!
