    How old are you? 11?

    Do you have any experience with younger sibs or cousins?

    Do you have a possible job lined up, or just plan to advertise?

    Do you live near horses that you are allowed or can pay to ride?

    A horse that you own costs lots and lots of money -- for hay, for a farrier, for a vet, for oats, for stabling, for shots, for sickness, for tack, for insurance, and for many other things. A low figure for only one year is $11,000. And horses are social creatures, so keeping only one horse all by himself would be cruel, like he's in isolation.

    Horses are very expensive to keep in good condition.

    Well I guess first I would not hire a 11 year old to baby sit any of the kids I ever had. If I was out for an evening, I would normally have had someone stop in or stay with my 11 year old. So that will be some issues finding a lot of jobs.

    But again depending on the area 20 to 40 dollars for an evening for one child is what I was paying for a teenager to watch my kid a few years ago
