[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop having hourly pay options below minimum wage[/quote] Legal wage is different in different states, for different ages, for different job types.... There's no way for care to police that. Right now, I believe the lowest wage you can inducate is $5-10/hr - which is totally legal to pay a minor for their first sitting job. Now, is it annoying that care is filled with low paying, low quality jobs? Sure! It's also annoying it's filled with barely qualified sitters. The good jobs and great nannies are in there.... You just have to do the work.[/quote] Come off it. High school kids don't use care. But even THEY earn minimum wage, usually $10-15/hr here.[/quote] Care.com has a specific process for 14-17 year olds to use the site. And you may not consider it market rate, but the fact remains as low as $4.75/he is often legal wage for these sitters. [/quote] Since most of us know there's no known so-called market rate for babysitters (or any of the domestic workers for that matter), people like you can always find desperate workers for $1/hr. In your book it's legal.[/quote]
