[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] LOL, good luck. I left the AP program 2 years ago. Even college kids are charging $20/hr for PT babysitting. A minimum wage job around here is already at $15. Not a chance there are bargains out there. I pay our sitter $21/hr for 3 hrs a day, so $315 a week. Doesnt include any weekend/extra work. Oh and BTW, finding someone reliable is hard. That why you need to pay good money. [/quote] I would gladly pay $315, and have my own home, kitchen, car, vacations, all of which added up to well over $400 a week for 15-20 hours of “reliable” (as in a warm body) babysitting. Either the AP program needs to solely be an employer/employee transaction, or a cultural exchange with stipend, but the gray area of employee with luxury entitlements is truly off-putting.[/quote] Lol! You are forgetting taxes, summer, teacher work days, snow days, and sick days. Do the math on a 45hr summer car at market rates. [/quote]
