[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op this seems like a perfect job for a SAHM whose kids are older. Ask on neighborhood FB group. I’d love a job like this. [/quote]

IME most SAHM’s of older kids REALLY don’t need the money and and have no interest in working. If they needed the money, they wouldn’t be SAH with older kids.[/quote]

I agree (I am a SAHM with older kids that asked earlier what the going rate would be.)

And because someone like this doesn't really need the money, they'll be more likely to quit if something else comes up.  For example, if my high school kid's sport event starts at 5 and I want to go watch my kid play--there's no way I'm going to miss it so that I can be cooking and cleaning someone else's house for pin money.
If there's a teacher work day we may want to use that to drive a few hours and do a college tour and I'm not ok with not being able to do that because I need to work a few hours in the afternoon.
The reason I do SAH is because I want to be free and available to do things like the above.

If the employer was ok with the "SAHM with older kids" taking time off for that type of thing frequently(even 2-3 times per week during a sport season), then maybe it could work.  [/quote]
