[quote=Anonymous]Because they offer terrible hours and working conditions for low pay. Case in point, on NextDoor someone wants a part time caretaker for three kids for two hours each night (roughly). The hours overlap with dinner hours and would involve someone commuting during what is already rush hour in my area (but they don't allow you to have a regular day job since they overlap with that). The person also posted a long laundry list of requirements and standards and things you'd have to help with. In this area, anyone who meets her standards can either: 1. Get a full time nanny job for 1-2 kids which is less kids, and it comes with benefits and OT if you want to work those hours. 2. If any qualified person wants this as a second job on top of something unrelated, there are better second jobs that don't require you to give up a critical window every weekday AND pay better than that. You can get compensated more driving Uber during those critical hours,and have flexibility. Or you can pick up better sitting jobs (less kids, block of more hours at a time, and more pay per hour) on care.com on your own time. [/quote]
