[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Get a teenager...” is common advice here for all those who don’t have teenagers. And then they want to underpay them, make them walk home alone in the dark, and not let them eat. [/quote] Underpay?!!? Babysitters get $15 an hour, which is double what minimum wage is... and it's cash. I had a mom like you try to haggle with me for her daughter's pay. It was one of the weirdest helicopter mom interactions I've had. The girl had an ad out, I responded to it, and the mom called me. The mom kept saying "well what do you think she's [i]worth[/i]?" Umm $15 is what I'm paying for watching a sleeping child. I said it twice. And the mom asked me about food, cameras and if I would drive her home instead of my husband...[/quote] Babysitters get top pay this summer and going into the fall can command even bigger dollars.[/quote]
