      “ I’ve been paid off the books 20-26 an hour. Just because it is off the books does not mean that you can be exploited and paid below what is legally minimum wage.” 😂

      Oh geez learn 2 math ... less than $2/hr ?! “ I imagine a mother’s helper about 10-12 hours a week and would not meet the $1000 threshold in a year. If you have a high school student that’s probably what you would get. But that’s just me.”

      Also as far as I can tell there is some kind of $1k *quarterly* threshold not annual. Know it alls are awful when they actually know nothing

      It all started when someone asked what she might expect to pay a “mother’s helper” ie young woman who can occupy kids while mom does other things around home. Everyone’s reacting like paying less for that is some kind of fucking human rights abuse

      This is a high school or community college student who will probably watch tv and change a few diapers... maybe open some single serve snacks... for money...

      Now people are chiming in with stories of how they had to earn real money when they were young because their single mom was dirt poor, etc. as if shaming low-paying care jobs out of existence is going to help anyone here at all

          Mother’s helper jobs are the perfect stepping stone to legit babysitting/nanny jobs which do really pay $18-25/hr here. Stupid to try to shame ppl who want one for less

          "The highest moral obligation we as a society have is to pay the biggest resource sinks the most money, because it's not like anyone can just be an infinite sponge on resources, right? "It has to work out in the end! It always does in stories!"
