@JD3P,
Your commute does not matter anywhere you work, JD3P.
Usually employers don't care if you live around the corner or have a 2 hour
drive, it's your problem how to get there, not theirs. Yes, $ 7/hour is not
enough. Your brother's girlfriend should really pay you $ 50/day which is
$ 40 for babysitting and $ 10 for in between - and only because she's your
brother's girlfriend, otherwise you should charge more.
