I had to read it four times to figure out they just need to put a period after the word sit. And then capitalize the word student because that should be the beginning of a new sentence.

Thank you for decoding this for me, i was stuck trying to figure out how a 4yo could baby-sit an athlete.

Maybe I am just dumb, but I don't get it. The sentence structure is odd, but otherwise this just reads as a kid looking to earn some extra scratch.

I initially read it as somebody looking for kids age 4-12 to do the babysitting, not be babysat.

Ahhh, okay, I see that I suppose

I gave up on understanding this as a sentence and just looked at all the verbs and nouns individually to deduce what they means.
