Teachers: Have you ever been derided by a parent or local citizen who said you were just an over priced baby sitter? Well that sure is degrading! Makes me feel like all that time I spent in college was wasted! But wait...maybe those concerned parents are onto something. Maybe you SHOULD pay me like a babysitter!
Let's see...the average salary for a baby sitter is between $4 and $18 an hour. Let's just start at minimum wage, $7.75 and round up a quarter just because I'm a nice guy. $8/hr.
Experienced adults are likely to make twice as much per hour ($10) as inexperienced teenagers ($5). I've been doing this 8 years, have "babysat" thousands of children and have 2 degrees in "babysitting". Just to be fair...let's add $2 an hour for experience. $10 an hour.
Generally speaking you should expect to pay an additional $1 an hour per child if you expect me to sit more than 1. I have about 22 kids per class...so let's add $20 and go ahead and divide that by 2, again, out of kindness. $20/hour.
Now let's do a little math:
Pay: 20/hour.
Kids: 22
Hours: 6 (no pay for lunches and plan time of course)
Days: 182
20*6 = 120
120 * 182 = 21,840
21,840 * 22 =
$480,480 a year. Yeah I'll take it!
Actual pay?
$38,00 a year or $1.56 per kid/day. Heck of a deal!
Wondering where I got the pay numbers?
