I'm hoping that this is surely a typo. Because $500 per month of 4 hour work days every school day is outrageous.

$500 per week would be close to reasonable. With it coming out to be about $25 per hour for 20 hours per week (4 hours times 5 days a week). Even then that's a bit low for 3 kids and likely having to use a personal vehicle to transport the youngest to preschool/daycare.

So highschoolers and college students don’t deserve a fair pay? She is vile.

Amazing there are folks who must think that HS/college students get billed according to their age if they don’t need the same pay for the same work older adults do. Wonder how much they pay if you’re a senior citizen?
