Lmao even 18$/h would be insane. The rest of it is just high standards, the 18 bucks a day is the big issue here.

You want all those things and true excellence? That'll be $1,800 a day.

High standards!? A MASTERS DEGREE to babysit? Lmao.

It's very common for teachers to have masters degrees to even teach children, so it isn't totally ridiculous. And, if the person is looking moreso for a governess or a lifelong nanny or whatever (think: Mary Poppins), they end up being the children's parent, teacher, friend, pe instructor, etc.

Teachers, sure. But a nanny? Good luck

Imagine you have a master's degree in education.

Now, would you rather teach room-fulls of shitty kids, all day, five days a week, and making lesson plans, for like $30/h with benefits and you're w2? Or a few shitty rich kids all day, everyday, until they're all 18, with no benefits, and you're 1099 ic - but you get to bill for $150/h?

The fuck you mean "no benefits". My sister is a teacher she gets benefits.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Where do you see $150/hour? We're talking about this post that says $18/day.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

It's a mystery.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I'm not so sure it's $18 an hour. I think it's just $18 a day.

[-] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

At least 180 would be respectable, tf is 18 a day?!!
