[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A teen under 18 is not going to get hired at any real part time job for $20/hr, so why would you pay this for babysitting? The most they could hope for at any other job would be $15, plus they get taxes taken out.  $15 cash per hour a suitable wage for a teen[/quote]

Agree so hard with this but our neighborhood just slowly started bumping it up with COVID. One family started paying a couple bucks more, then another family, and because these sitters are gen z they think they’re entitled to it now. When I was babysitting the family set the rates and I could take it or leave it. Now if you try to set the rates lower than another family you’ll be ousted from the babysitting networks, they’ve got a cartel. [/quote]

This is DCum and minimum wage in DC is $17, so no.[/quote]

Agree, in the DC area, minimum wage is 16-17 in MD and DC. Also, why are people so angry at pay a few extra dollars to care for their kids? Like don't go out if you're so angry. [/quote]
