[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never paid more than $15 and generally pay $12 and I never have a problem finding AU sitters. Don't play their game![/quote] Same here. A couple of students have asked for more after responding to my (very clear) postings, but I don't really have trouble finding students for $12-$15. I have one older child, and offer the lower end of the range when I have a few days lead time and the higher end when it's short notice. FWIW, I'm a recent graduate with an MA myself and earn $12/ hour for a job in my recession-decimated field that I feel really lucky to have. Things are tough all over, but it's important to remember that most of these 19 year-olds are effectively offering unskilled labor. My bigger concern about the site is that a couple of times I've received responses from people who admitted they were not students (or recent graduates). [/quote]
