[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a high school sitter pick our kids up from the bus 3 days a week and stay with them no longer than an hour. She gives them a snack, gets school work started and plays with them a bit if there is time. We pay $12 an hour but rarely is she needed a full hour. I still pay for an hour. Activities are rarely before dinner so the sitter doesn't need to drive. [/quote] You only give her $12? Damn, you're cheap as hell. You should really be paying her $20.[/quote] Sorry, but I am snickering at this too. Wouldn't it just be easier to give her a $20 and send her on her way?[/quote] She's in high school and it's less than an hour. She probably lives on the same block and walks over. I think it's totally fair. My high school kid would do it for that amount for sure. For ease of payment for me, I'd probably pay her forty dollars for the week rather than $36 so it would work out to be $13 and change per hour.[/quote]
