Just a note, but if she is paying her baby sitter $10 an hour why wouldn't she baby sit instead of working for minimum wage.

Good point. Only 3 hours a day pays $150 a week.
Why work 40 hours for $206?

Doh! You weren't supposed to pick up on the fact that she could make more being a childcare provider!

That was my immediate reaction too.

I started to work when I was a young child. Every time that I wanted more out of life, I increased my work effort and got what I wanted. Sometimes I worked two jobs. Sometimes I worked 12 to 14 hours a day. I also knew from growing up poor that I didn't want my kids to grow up the way I did. I was 35 before I had kids.

Hardships, choices and priorities. We all have them. It's how you handle them that matters.

My thought exactly.

Maybe the babysitters have a tough union in NYC.
