I think this young lady is under charging her baby sitting services

    Not a great deal different, though for a 19 year old, I'm sure it all counts.

    She might live at home thus no living expenses. Might be studying... perhaps via correspondence... Thus the babysitting would be a temporary thing.

    The only flaw I see is where she says she's available day and night. Like others have said, this would be a side gig.
    And you need to think about the "saving $" side of it. Instead of going out and blowing out $200 on grog on a friday or saturday night, these girls are taking home cash on the night. So they're up $200 + $x compared to their friends.

    FYI we pay our sitter $20/hr. We normally have the kids fed beforehand, and the first one goes to bed at 7pm, the second kidlet is in bed at 8pm, the rest of the night is Netflix and chill. Her boyfriend normally comes over midway through the night, so for her, it's just a quiet night in, watching a movie, and getting paid to do it.
