I don't think it's illegal to post the range since min wage falls within the range. No way will OP get anyone to reply who has any business watching an infant though.

Not everyone needs to spend every waking moment of the day with their children to feel like a good mother.

Care is the biggest scam in the babysitting business.

Why don't some of you get pissy with all the agencies that offer cash or salary jobs? Or how about all the nannies that work under the table?

That's just as illegal, but seems to not be a big deal to most of you.

Why is it sad? They choose to work or chose to have a kid and give it to a ma,y to take care of.

You mean like a porn site? All they're doing is connecting people who "might" be breaking the law. Sweet.

Care.com is so far being allowed to operate illegally.

They continue to do this.

Why not start the wage at 25 cents an hour, according to you illegal logic?
Won't that give care.com even more customers?

Funny, yet so sad.
