[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

3 dollars is a big difference when you look at the long term. It is also a difference when I factor in the commute.  also if she is paying legally then 10/hr is chump change and not worth it because I will be paying 3 to 4 dollars in tax. I have an elderly client I might drop because she only pays 10. it's a 20 minute drive to her home. so for three hours of work and 40 minutes of driving I only make 27 dolalrs. It just isn't worth it. My time is valuabLe to me. I love her to bits but I'm worth more than 10 dollars.

Now, saying that. I don't think I am going to counter. This isn't my first nanny gig but it is my first toddler gig so to me the experience is going to be worth the pay. I think I will ask for a raise in 3 or 6 months and se how it goes.[/quote]

No one, not even the president, would pay "legally" and withhold taxes and crap on a one day a week half day job.[/quote]

OP here.

The elderly woman was the first in home caregiver jobI took. I took it though a site called CareFamily. STAY AWAY FROM THAT SITE FYI Not only does the site charge the employer 3 dollars an hour, they also take taxes out of my pay. The actual job posting was for 12 an hour but after he found out the site charges him 3 (which means he would be paying 15 over all) he lowered my rate to 10. Also the son (the employer) is a jerk. I love working with his mom but he is so annoying to deal with ugh.

It does seem really dumb to pay legally for such a small amount of work. For instance, today she was too tired to do a full 3 hours so I only worked an hour and a half with her. [/quote]
