[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mother here.  If you told her your hourly rate was $12 and she asked you to come for one hour, and then paid you $12 - then it seems like she wasn't intentionally being a cheapskate - she was paying you what you asked.

If you want to establish a minimum that's fine - but you have to be clear and direct about your rate.  You can't fault someone for not paying you more - just for kicks - than the rate you quoted.

I won't take a stance on whether $12/hr is sufficient or insulting - I'm just saying that it sounds like you got what you asked for in terms of rate.  Was she supposed to read your mind?[/quote]

It's not about mind reading, it's about common decency. [/quote]

Then when the person said they needed one hour of care, the OP should have said up front that if its just one hour, the rate is X, or I have x hour minimum.

If I told a sitter I needed one hour and she said her rate was $12, I would give her $12.  (Also I used to babysit for $12 an hour)[/quote]
