[quote=Anonymous]"You don’t have to hire any of us. I expect the families for whom I sit to treat me like an adult capable of handling information and making informed choices. I also expect them to treat me with at least a little respect. I have NEVER had a family offer less then $10 more per hour when there was going to be at least one more child, and normally they just ask how much it would be to add xyz child. Of course, I’ve also supervised numerous sleepovers too, that way parents can sleep, and parents are aware that I charge for every hour. You are entitled to pay what you want, provided you can find someone to accept it, and you’re entitled to discontinue with any sitter at any time with little to no notice or reason."

And that is what i've done in the past. We had a neighborhood girl who we were told by her mom charged "$10/hr" so we booked her to sit for a few hours for 2 kids; when it was time to pay she clarified that it was per kid (?!?). Never again had her sit when i needed a sitter for both kids so she missed out on jobs by charging exorbitantly more than the 1 kid rate instead of a few dollars an hour more.
