Thanks for the guffaw. |
My friend, a pediatrics RN, who is leaving the nursing field due to her hospital’s failure to provide PPE or other basic protections just accepted a “pod running” position. You might be surprised by the credentials of the people taking these roles. |
Feel free to unenroll then, madame. |
How is a pod of kids in different classes supposed to work? |
How old are your kids? My 1st and 2nd graders didn't cope well with self-directed learning this spring, no matter how many Zoom meetings they could attend with classmates at their DCPS. If the children had been in the upper grades, perhaps they could have stayed on track without near constant supervision. We're planning to hire a distance learning supervisor with another family we basically isolate with. |
I was thinking about this last night. I would need 75k and my health insurance covered. |
I would think about $25-30/hour per kid, maybe a bit less if there are more kids. More if they are creating curriculum and you are not using the materials provided by DCPS.
Would you each be employers (like a nanny share) or would you have a different model? |
5 families, $20k per family, year round. $385/week/family. 6 hours/day so $65/hr for a full-time teacher who creates all content. |
Now THIS is pod running! |
We are playing $30/hr over the table for four kids, two families. 2nd and K, same school for all. She will school us 8-12, then go home and supervise her own children who are in high school. We feel EXTREMELY lucky to have found her. |
And I hope you get your privilege as well, when a lot of kids with no internet and going to seriously suffer while you throw money at the problem. Why don't you invite someone to join your elitist pod who otherwise cant afford it? Same goes to every other one of you disgusting selfish people on this thread. Shame. |
This is a ridiculous position to take. |
We're paying a recent college grad $40/hr for 4 neighborhood kids - all within a year of each other. We're paying her using a payroll service above the table. We've made the position month to month.
Our hire is still on their parent's health insurance. Fingers crossed. We aren't US citizens, you idiots voted (collectively) for the current government. |
+1 I'm so confused why we are calling a nanny-share a "pod" now. Is it just because there is more schoolwork involved so now we call it a pod instead? |
40 dollars an hour per family? Or total? T |
