[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was absolutely floored to hear this. She recently went through a divorce and had been out of the workforce for 15 to 20 years. She does not have a college degree as far as I know.

She now works about 45 hours a week earning $47.50 per hour taking care of one kid. Apparently, the kid is difficult, which is why the family feels the need to pay such a high rate.  I don’t know if there are benefits, but 45 x $47.50 per hour alone works out to north of $100K per year.

The most surprising thing is that she refuses to do any light cleaning or even throw a load of laundry in the washer when the kid is resting or there’s downtime.  She apparently quit working for another family who asked her to do that.

So $100K+ with no degree, minimal or no experience, and you can be very picky about what tasks you will and will not do? Is this for real?  If I had a daughter, I would 100% suggest she consider this as a career unless she had outstanding academic credentials or a strong interest in a potentially high-paying field. WTF?[/quote]

Myob.  Your friend is not a maid.  She deserves a break.   Also you are sexist if you would only suggest your dd doing this job.[/quote]
