[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are very out of touch. $20/hr for 20 hr/week is $1600/month. This is the rate of full time day care for a 1 year old where I live in MD. I know a ton of people who can't pay that and cobble together what they can. I assume that's why this poster is only looking for a PT babysitter. [b]It's not "cheap" to not be paid enough to pay your own bills and a living wage for a second adult, it's just sad.[/b] [/quote] What??[/quote] Many many people in this country do not make enough to afford full time childcare. They also cannot afford to pay someone else $20/hr. It doesn't mean they are cheap, which implies you choose not to spend more, it means they literally do not have the money. [/quote]
