[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s NOT the money. Don’t go on care.com or whatever. Good sitters don’t need to advertise. You need to find someone through word of mouth. Look for a local teenager. Adults are flakier for jobs without a regular schedule, stick to teens in your immediate neighborhood. $20 is absolutely fine. My teens are happy to make that in Nova. The DC posters are crazy.[/quote] I mean she is welcome to keep offering $20 because a random poster said that her teens will take $20 but it doesn't seem to be working so far. I live in DC and pay sitters minimum of $25/ hour, have three kids and have zero issue finding sitters. Call me crazy if you want but it certainly works for me. Also, of course it is about the money! Sitters babysit for the money. You are going to get more candidates if you pay more. Basic supply and demand. [/quote]
