Participant$50 and hour?! That’s insane. Maybe she should consider being their nanny instead of college… The daughter of my husband’s colleague charges $5 an hour (which we think is very reasonable). I’ve heard of as much as $10 an hour but never more than that. I guess we’re cheap and don’t like going places that we can’t take our kid

ParticipantRobyn–
My daughter thinks the marriage is in trouble. The wife is very demanding of my daughter. I think she is paying a premium for the “on-call” stuff. She has already bitched my daughter out for not answering her calls when my kid is in class (my kid has wisely said, “I am not allowed, nor will I, answer my cell phone during classes or when I am eating a meal.”) I just don’t know what to make of this. She has a very demanding course load, with plenty of homework, and she told the woman that they needed to set up some kind of regular schedule. My daughter is torn between the money she is being paid and doing what she needs to do at college. She also has said to me, “I don’t want to be a participant in the unraveling of a marriage.” I know it’s un-PC, but I said, “If she didn’t have you, she’d simply hire someone else.”

ParticipantI think she is paying a premium for the “on-call” stuff.
Kind of weird that the husband is the guy who may leave without a notice, yet the wife wants an ‘on-call’ sitter? Sounds like the wife is stepping out on the husband, and wants to be able to get a sitter quickly if the husband is out and the wife finds out that her paramour is available.

GuestWhen my church has a meeting of any kind, we pay a college student about $20/hr to look after our kids during the meeting. There’s usually 10-15 kids.

ParticipantYour daughter is sensing a red flag with this set-up and her instincts should be applauded. Good for her for setting boundaries, but she might want to pay attention to her feelings of foreboding and not work for them any more. She sounds like a good kid and already has a sense for business.

ParticipantI pay $15/hr for 2 kids who are very well behaved. It’s hard to get sitter on a Friday or Saturday night. I’ve got to pay top $ to get a teenage girl to give up her night out. We don’t go out that often without the kids though, once or twice a month.
