Great comparison even though it is apples to oranges.
Please dont forget and this is important, if the babysitter is not up to a standard I/We could fire and hire. So if I want to pay for quality I can.
For teachers you get what you get. And please do not say most teachers are worth it. To be honest in any position only about 20% of your workforce is above average.
If you want to compare the babysitters to teachers, dont forget the lunches they make diapers they change etc.....
Also remember teachers get breaks through the day and babysitters do not. I would also venture to say sitters dealing with children under 5 is a littler more difficult.
But I dont think we are here to compare, if you want to we can.
Please dont use your silly little babysitter pay chart.
I know plenty of 14-16 year olds who babysit 5-6 hours a night 2-3 kids for 15$ or even 20$ so if we go by that multiply 15$ by 8 (8x3=24 kids).
That is $120 times 5 days a week. That is $600 a week.
How many weeks does a teacher teach. 32-33. OK so 600 x 33 = wow lets just say 20k for fun.
See I can manipulate data and teacher pay to just like you.
So we could hire teenagers to teach our kids and give them a payraise.
Was that your point BIG ED?
Lets just be factual and not act like children and twist data.
Thanks
