[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking for help a couple hours most afternoons over the summer. I’m thinking a college kid with a morning job might be interested in picking up a couple extra hours, picking my kids up at camp and hanging out with them for a bit.  We have some flexibility so they don’t need to work every day, but I need somebody who isn’t going to flake on me because something better comes up on any given day. What is a good enough hourly rate to make this worthwhile for a responsible young adult?  [/quote]

$20/$25 an hour would ensure loyalty and availability.[/quote]

No way will $20-25 cut it.   OP is basically asking the college kid to tie up the most in demand part of the day, for just a few hours worth of pay.   [/quote]

Ehhhh it depends.  I think the rate is low for 2 kids but based on my experience hiring college kids, that’s more than they’re making in other gigs.[/quote]

It’s not just the rate, it’s the limited hours (a few hours a day, and not every day) and the fact that it is in the middle of the day.  OP doesn’t specify how many hours beyond “a few”—but say it’s 3 hours, 3 days a week…so $180/week?  If you’re a college kid and all your friends are going to the beach for a week, are you really going to want to stay behind for $180?   [/quote]
