    The babysitter in our neighborhood has upped her prices to $17.50/hr. She’s fourteen years old. And booked through September.

        She brings a Square reader with her, and charges a 3.5% convenience fee if you use it.

        I've read reports that child care costs were outrageous. Are you serious or is this a bit?

        We’re the poor people in a very rich area. The supply/demand is all off.

        And when I say “poor” that’s a relative measure. Median income here is above $150k/yr and most have either two income earners or equity in something

        Danville is much cheaper than Fremont, and Fremont is a bit cheaper than Sunnyvale. More you move south, these disparities get worse. Palo Alto living price index is insane.

        On average it is. Houses in mission area are $800+ per square foot in Fremont. Similar story on rents, gas and household services.

        If she's booked through September you should alert her that (a) she's undercharging (b) she should start hiring

        I had a 12yo babysitter a few years ago who was amazing, then by 15 she had 2 employees and took a 40% cut (iirc, at least a lot). I could no longer book her but I hope to be a client of her future company.

        I would buy shares in any company she starts, no questions asked. Even at 12 she had two-sided business cards with her babysitting business on one and balloon animal business on the other. Both with her mom's contact info.

        14 year old in my Sunday a School class in SJ gave us a deal for $20/hr. Basically what I got paid as a junior high teacher. We didn’t go on many dates.

        If she’s booked through Sept at that rate, time for another increase
