[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read that language as, they want to pay a modest hourly wage (“a little extra money”), not what a nanny would charge. [/quote]

It’s this. It’s code for “we’re cheap and not willing to pay market value for childcare.”[/quote]
+1 the only dog whistle here is “this is a great job for someone who doesn’t need the money and won’t judge us“[/quote]

Wtf? There are tons of teens who are thrilled to make $15 an hour. Retail pays way less than that. [/quote]

No, it doesn’t, unless you’re in Alabama — or are you writing from 2019? Companies trying to pay under $15/hr for retail aren’t able to hire, because even high school kids can make more money now.[/quote]

In my city (wealthy but not NE wealthy) the teens and college kids all happily take $15 an hour to babysit on Saturday night.

You do realize that watching tv and sitting on your phone for four hours on Saturday night is way better than working at target right?

Babysitting = no commitment, choose your hours, no stress, get your homework done, no taxes, nice customers.

Target = taxes, need to work a lot more than 4 hours a week, no control over schedule, sometimes get calls last minute that you have to come in, have to do actual labor and work, rude customers, ectc.

But sure, making $17 an hour (before taxes) at target is soooo much better than babysitting for $15. [/quote]
