Depends on market

10/23/21 8:30am

Metro Phoenix

Metro, like central Phoenix? Or Paradise Valley

10/23/21 8:38am

More than the market, it depends on the people.

Due to your posting about it, I suspect it was on the low end. If so, yeah, people can really suck

I’ll post the answer in a bit. It may be lower than I expected. It may be higher

Question asks for both rate and total.

Technically, the title is not a question.

Back when my kids were young it was $3 per kid per hour so $30 or so

The correct answer:

Wow that’s hideous

In a situation like this, do you give your daughter some money? Or tell her that some lessons are tough?

I wouldn’t give my kid money, but I would use it as a life lesson

USMCdad

We made her her favorite breakfast. Didn’t want her to be jaded by money.

I would hope she wouldn't take a job from them again and let the other

Related Question ... Variable rate depending on activity?

I would absolutely let her babysit for free for temple attendance.

The fact that this poll only goes up to $41 tells you everything you need to

$20/hr is more than what 16 year olds make at Chick-fil-A.

And the babysitter adds more value. CFA is more consistent income.

It's too much for many young families to afford.

Ted Lasso

True & Valid. $20/hr isn't unreasonable either. $10/hr can be reasonable too.
