[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 years ago i was charging 20/hr on college breaks.  Up to 2 kids. Bethesda.

So it's 20 years later and you want to pay less than that for 3 kids??

As a high school teen my parents would not have let me work for you.  I would not let my own teen do it anyway -- too many very young children for too little money. [/quote]

[b]20 years ago minimum wage was only $5.15.  Your parents wouldn't have let you work for 4 x minimum wage[/b]?[/quote]

PP again.  I had no idea what the minimum wage was when I was 18, 19+...  I had always done babysitting and that is what seemed fair.  I ran it past my  parents and they agreed. I was always booked  up for neighborhood jobs on my college breaks when the employers knew I was coming back home.  I helped with lunches or dinners and took the kids out with me when I walked the dog for them. I made a lot more when I babysat on New Years Eve.  A lot.

I was dependable and energetic and smart. Those parents got a good deal. [/quote]
