[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Excellent points made here and thank you for your responses.

Okay, how about this: 6 hours, $30 an hour, 10 to 4 or 11 to 5?  That way the nanny or teacher could still sleep late and have the evening free with $180 cash in her pocket? [/quote]

NP here and that has to be good!  Geez!! $180 in your pocket every Saturday?!  Come on! [/quote]

The price is fine. Its the fact that she wants some to reserve every Saturday - traditionally the day most people have off for their own families or interests - after a full week of work at a different job. On top of the fact she's asking for the whole of the day, not just like 2 hours in the morning when they can just make the kids breakfast, wash the dishes and leave. Shrug.

She has to find someone looking for extremely part-time hours.[/quote]

Nonsense.  I worked a weekend nanny job, 12 hours a day for both days, for two years.  If you need or want the money, you sacrifice 6 hours on a Saturday for $180.

Yes, OP, you will definitely find someone at $30 an hour.  There are lots of hardworking women out there without the typical DCUM privilege.  [/quote]
Yes she can find someone. I don't see much DCUM privilege anywhere here. I worked at the restaurant for 25 years before becoming an aide in public school. Both are extremely hard jobs with the aide work being much harder in my opinion. While $30 cash an hour is good money, that amount and a lot more, can be made in a restaurant right now. I got yet another call today about how many reservation they have and if I could come in. I already worked all week and one night. I won't be rested by Monday. Forgot completely that I'm also in MA program for ECE.
Shortly, not enough workers to go around right now. Schools are short of teachers.We didn't even have a certified teacher in the classroom on Friday.
I'm an aide who became the teacher. The teachers make more than $30 an hours. Are they lazy? No, there's a shortage of teachers also.
OP has to pay more because of the shortage of workers.
