[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  I'm an MB in Maryland so I'm of only limited value but my advice would be to ask for $24/hr based on the position and your experience, but indicate that you might have some room for give if need be.  This is a part-time but complicated job, with several kids.  It sounds like she wants/needs someone really competent and capable so you should start a little higher than you would be happy with (in terms of negotiating).

I would frame the conversation w/ the employer not so much in terms of your concerns about "not minding the duties... and not interacting with them much" but more in terms of the complexities of juggling two different location pickups every day, 4 kids in general, household duties, and some level of variability in scheduling.    You can also tell her what you've charged in the past and why you think something around $24 makes sense.

I don't think an employer would refuse to consider you if you're within a dollar or two per hour, so you could know that you would actually be quite happy with 22 if you end up there, but how you approach the negotiation is important.

Good luck!![/quote]
