Should babysitters get at least minimum wage? After all, how often does your sitter wind up watching movies, while your wee ones sleep. Is it unreasonable to pay them sub par wages? Claire Gillespie says, “yes,” it is. After all, it’s the responsibility that matters. Would you pay a security guard less on the nights when all remains quiet? Of course not. Your children’s temperament should not factor into the monies given to your sitter, neither should that movie she watches after the kids get to sleep. What should matter is that her responsibility is ironclad and it’s to your children.
I pay babysitters big bucks because my kids are important to me
