When Mark responded within minutes, thanking her as if she’d saved his week, Kayla felt a small rush of relief. It was luck that she found the post when she did. A simple babysitting job could help with groceries, school supplies, or the savings she kept tucked into a jar under her bed.
But more than that, Kayla hoped the job might give her a break from the constant weight of responsibility at home. A few hours in a different house, with a child to look after and a clear task to focus on, sounded like exactly the stability she needed.
