[quote=Anonymous]I had a phone interview with a mom a week ago. She works from home and the husband works from home 1/2 the week as well. I would be needed 40 hours a week to care for their 9 month old who she swear is the best since she "has a degree in early childhood education." We were good until she stated their gross was $13.50/hour. I told her I'd get back to her about it. 2 days later, I told her I had to decline. She stated that they could possibly do gross $15/hour. I never responded because I'd be working for them 40 hours / week so I wouldn't be doing any side babysitting unless on weekends for extra $. Their home is in Rockville and I am driving or maybe I'll metro from eastern market depending upon what's cheaper for me. Yesterday, she emailed me and stated that she met with multiple candidates but she feel as though I am the 1 and asked for an in person interview. I agreed, but I still do not intend on taking the job at  gross $15/hour for 30 hours a week (she reduced the hours per week to afford $15/hour) I would like to meet the family and to at least show that I can stick to my commitment, but gross $15/hour isn't enough and I don't think she can afford more. What's a rate to even ask for that's fair ?? I think I will have to just walk a way, so how do I politely do that, AGAIN ?[/quote]
