    We had a class 10 girl from our building sit with our elder one on Saturdays a couple of years ago. We paid her by the hour, about what she would get for an hour of tuition, and her mother liked that it was fixed and paid on the day. What mattered more than the money: we were home, and she knew she could knock on the study door if anything happened :)

    talk to her parents, not weird at all. one slightly awkward conversation now saves a lot later. and keep the first saturday short so everyone can back out without fuss 🤷
