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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

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

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

It's a mystery.

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

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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