Tired of hiring unreliable teenage babysitters? Rent-a-Grandma is a business idea which will appeal to you. Former Los Angeles teacher Todd Pliss came up with this novel business idea after hearing about the difficulties the parents of his students had with finding good help. Rent-a-Grandma is a runaway success, with franchises opening thick and fast across the United States.
