[quote=Anonymous]I babysit 10-15hrs for a family and the Dad keeps asking me to lower my rates and I’m kind of over it! The first time he asked I said no. The second time, I said no. Now he asked again! He’s always complaining about the other sitters (I only work weekends) and how they aren’t reliable or professional etc and that I’m so much more expensive (probably because I’m legal, on time, experienced, professional, speak English etc). I like the job and the girls are so sweet, but I need to find a way to tell him NO so that he stops asking me to lower my rate. He’s from another culture where bartering is normal, but I’m really over it and want him to stop! I can’t just quit because they were referred to me by the owner of an agency I really want to continue working with, but it’s so awkward!! Like you can see I do a good job and I’m better than your other sitters, why can’t you just value me and pay my rate??? I’m not even talking extortion prices, it’s $18/hr for two kids! [/quote]
