[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update from OP
Now find that I would be paid hourly for the insane schedule and the rate is $22/hour . No differential for the long hours, evenings overnights and weekends about 2/3 of the hours are evening , night or weekend . Live -out position .
Also be expected to work 2-3 major holidays per year plus the surrounding 4-5 days. 
Included in duties are errands/grocery shopping/meal prep/laundry . Since the baby is nursing , the meals would be for parents . 
Grandparents would be popping by to visit . Family  vacations away would be unpaid for me . No pto/sick time/insurance/mileage/perks. 
I am not taking this job , but stunning what people will ask for . …and maybe they’ll find someone to do it . 
Oh also they made it clear that I would be monitored by camera and also have an app to detect crying and how long crying lasts so they know exactly what is occurring at home . 
Maybe they can get an app that takes care of their baby ! Or a robot !

Thanks all for your input . [/quote]

8.39 again.

No issues with camera or app for me.  Nights and weekends are also fine with me.  But I don't do live-out, and there's no way I'd take this job at just $35k.  My rate would be 130 hours for the month, $900 weekly, for $46,800/year.  However, all the hours would be on the clock (no 3-5 hours off in between shifts, especially with an infant), and all the extra duties would be done during working hours (no housework/cooking on my time).

No benefits is a dealbreaker, unless they want to raise my salary sufficiently so that I can pay it myself without a change in pay.  Just leaving out sick leave, vacation and pto is ridiculous.

Grandparents are iffy.  Are they truly "popping by" or are they planning on coming several times and staying for a while each time?  How do they foresee the position changing during those times?

Totally understand why you're passing, OP.[/quote]
