[quote=Anonymous]Because your hours are so minimal you are looking at hiring one of two types of people: Type 1: Someone who doesn't really need the money--like a college student whose parents are paying for their basic expenses but just wants a little extra spending cash. This will be where the "unreliable" comes in; when something comes up that they feel is better (studying for a final, breakfast with a friend, etc.) it's a lot easier to pass up your $44. Type 2: Someone who needs full time employment to pay the bills, and is working several part time jobs to cobble that together. During Covid, the fact that your sitter is also working for 2+ other families will increase the risk of spread. Even during non covid times, this kind of arrangement can backfire because if the sitter finds one full time family to work for, they will leave all their part time families .[/quote]
