[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pay is definitely too low. I suspect the people arguing otherwise have never worked as a sub. If $19 per hour were "about right", there would not be so many vacancies every single day. [/quote]

+1, if it was so great, there would be a surplus.[/quote]

It's a mindless, no commitment job, with no outside work  (emailing parents, meetings, grading, lesson plans, etc).

What other job(s) are mindless, no commitment, and no work-related stuff outside of 8am-3pm?
The $18/hr is fine[/quote]

LOL. Such BS. I’m not a teacher but even I know that $18/hr to what do you equate with babysitting is BS. Many sitters make $20/hr to watch ONE kid. Difficult child? Add more money. multiple children? Add more money. [/quote]

This is so true![/quote]

[b]Yeah, but can you say I want to babysit this Tuesday from 8:30-3 PM and reliably find a job?[/b]  Most people want a babysitter who will give up their days on the regular or babysit weekend nights.[/quote]

Hell yes. I did it all the time when I was a SAHM with young kids. I had to turn people away regularly. Tons of parents with kids in the 0-4 age group are looking for occasional babysitters so they can attend one-off downtown meetings or chaperone their older child's field trip or take their elderly parents to medical appointments.
