[quote=Anonymous]I have been curious about this for years. I see lots of SAHMs posting on care.com and sittercity.com, neighborhood listserves, etc about how they want to make some extra cash watching another child or two, usually on a part time or as-needed basis. Sounds great except it seems like their salary expectations are just out of whack. I don't think I have ever seen a SAHM asking for less than $15/hr, and many ask for $20+. Why would I pay you $20, or even $15 for that matter, to watch my kid AND yours? I would not pay that much in a nanny share! I really don't get it. There is a new drop in home day care in Alexandria and the woman wants $12.50 per hour - I could have a college babysitter come over and give her full undivided attention to my child for $12. I am not following the logic here... [/quote]
