Subject: parents want a freebie

I think your rate is more than fair. In fact, i feel those parents are insane to object. What they really want is top quality care by educated professionals for free, or for fast food prices. The child they say they love so much is quite a financial drain, and instead of searching for quality care, they shop for bargain rates and then complain about the quality of the services. Parents need to understand that having a child will involve financial sacrifices, that the whole world should not be expected to subsidize their little darling's care, and that choices should have been considered before the parents chose to get pregnant. I think you are worth far more than a teenage babysitters price of $5 per hour. Print up a brochure with your education and experience featured and place them in higher income areas, and you may find you will have a waiting list.
