[quote=Anonymous][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]

Really, I'm sexist for suggesting this only if I had a daughter?  What percentage of families do you think would prefer hiring a woman for this job instead of a man who might sexually abuse the kids?

And if I'm sexist for saying that she's picky for refusing to do any light cleaning/washing, then I guess the wife in the last family that hired her is also sexist because she's the one who asked my wife's friend to do those chores when there was some downtime.[/quote]
