[quote=Anonymous]OP said she wouldn't be driving, just taking public transit which is already paid for by employers, and she would already be in the city. BUT, that is still no reason to be paid below $15/hr in NYC!

I get paid my usual rate of $20/hr when babysitting for one of my families on the weekends. The kids keep their weekday sleep schedule and are in bed by 7pm (I show up around 5:30-6pm normally). I am there until at least 10pm. They are sleeping almost the whole time. They eat with me (either take out they ordered in or I cook some pasta and veggies), we do something for like 20-45 minutes and then go brush teeth and get into PJs. Then both read (I read with the younger, the older reads by herself) for 20 minutes and then time to sleep. I usually clean up the kitchen (but normally not asked to), and then do my own thing until parents get home. They would never think to pay me less even though I spend only about an hour with them awake. They even offer to drive me home (about 10 minutes away) if they haven't been drinking, otherwise I can walk/take transit and be home within 30 minutes depending on bus schedules.[/quote]
