[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I suppose when parents work on salary at their jobs they don't do the "hourly" break down. And if they do it is the ideal of "I get paid for time worked". The hourly thing works when you are tallying hours to be paid at the end of a week. For example, I have no problem making  $12 per for a random weeknight hour that will get added to my check at the end of the pay period, but if I am doing sitter jobs, again, you need to make it worth my while.

I don't want to say there is a minimum of time, but possibly a minimum $ amount. I don't want parents to feel compelled to stay out for 2 extra hours just to meet a minimum, but if they cannot pay accordingly...[/quote]

I think it's better to say you have a minimum time.  Our babysitter has a minimum of 4 hours.  We don't always stay out 4 hours but understand that if we come home early we still owe her for 4 hours.  I don't think it would make feel parents compelled to stay out for that time but to me an hourly minimum sounds better than a minimum $ amount.  But maybe that's just me.[/quote]
