They never married and when Becky was 5, he got sole custody, mostly because he had wealthy parents. She was born 11 years ago to a 16 year old mother, when Ken was 18. So what's so terrific about babysitting? You wouldn't ask if you knew Becky. Ken pays me a pretty generous hourly rate to look after his daughter Becky while he's at work and I get to chalk up about 25 hours a week, and it's fun, too. It's the only thing keeping me going while I'm looking for work. If I didn't have this part time job babysitting Becky, things would be tough.
