[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50 cents a mile from the driver's home to the school to your house and back to the driver's home, plus $20 an hour.

Something to remember with a gig like this is that the person you hired is committed to your family for every afternoon, five days a week.  She can't get a haircut, take the dog to the vet, get her oil changed, get her teeth cleaner, go to the doctor, get a job other than this gig for you, etc. Her whole afternoon is carved out for this commitment to you.  For $20 plus expenses. [/quote]

And what you wrote above is why I think $20/hr (even plus mileage) is not enough.  Unless the person has to be in the area of the school around that time anyway, there is no way $20 is worth it.[/quote]

Poster at 13:00 you are replying to.  I agree.  I got to thinking about the reality of the time commitment after I posted.  I had a gig like this.  I had to pick up the girl at school at 2:45.  So  . .  from 1:30 to 2 I was finishing up whatever I was doing at my own house. From 2 to 2:15 I was  getting ready to head out.  2:15 to 2:45 I was driving to the school.  Kid was at her home by 3:15.  I was back home by 4.  So it was really a two hour commitment out of the middle of my day.  So yeah, I agree that  $20 even plus mileage is not enough. [/quote]
