That's so awful! Why don't people place more importance on their children? It just makes no sense!

Jemmie211 - That has always been a problem in modern society. Once I was conned into babysitting three children after school each day for $5.00 per week (total) because they played on my sympathies and made me think they were poverty stricken. Even though I really liked the children, I stopped immediately when they let it slip that they were planning a vacation trip to Italy.

I love to work with kids and would do it for free if I could (as I have in the past). But I still think it wrong of society to pay so little to the folks who care for their kids.

Yep looking after children is under-valued. I need to be paid a lot to do it as it would be a nightmare job for me

The early employer gets the employee. A race between the two! Good luck.

Hey hope you get the job!! I remember when I was a case manager working with disabled adults and made about 8.00 an hour. But if I worked that the rec center, owned by the same company, as a bartender, I could make 11.00 an hour. How messed up is that?? Pretty weird values here in the world.
Go Easy,

Kinda like the argument about teachers versus actors. You get paid squat for shaping the life of a child, but if you have the right look and can memorize a few lines you can make millions....But good luck with the job! Getting a discount on nice clothes is quite a nice perk!
