How much to pay to have someone pick up my kid from school and take to activity?

Anonymous
I need someone to pick up my daughter from school 4 days a week and drive her to ballet. Her studio is only a mile from the school. I have no idea how much to pay for something like this, or even how to find someone to do it.

It’s hard to find someone unless you are ok with a HS kid. When I did this, the travel time from my drivers home to school to activity to back home was just under an hour. I paid $15 for time and 50 cents a mile.

$25 if they don't need to wait as you need to make it worth their while.

Want to add that there were lots of days that my driver needed off but she got friends to cover. I live in a neighborhood where we all know everyone so I was mostly ok with this. But I did get my daughter a cellphone.

You’re going to have trouble finding someone reliable

We have a babysitter/driver. It was very hard to find someone. We pay her about $20/hr, although we include her own travel time to/from her home. She gives the kid a snack, starts HW if there is any, transports to an activity, and brings her home.

at least $30 cash per day and that's if the only thing they have to do is sit in kiss and ride line, get kid, drive, and drop kid off.

It would be a lot easier to just find a ballet school with a class that you can drive your child to yourself (either after you are off work, or on weekends, etc.)

Can you hire another parent at your school do to this? It seems like piggybacking on someone else's schedule would be by far the most efficient/reliable path. I'd offer $15/day.

How old is your child? Can't they... walk?

well if school let's @ 3:05. Then your pickup person has to be there @ least 2:30 & wait. So they are waiting 1:30 @ least then the gas & wear on the vehicle. 30 dollars is not much. That should be for 1 child

No, they can't walk or bike. Childhood obesity, y'know.

I am a reliable person but I would do it for $50 min

I would hate to be that parent you ask. If you pay me than I become your 'employee' and what if our kids didn't like each other or were sick?
