Unrealistic

So I was babysitting for an old friend. Baby born mid December. Regular day is typically 9-9.5 hours.

I do have first aid and cpr (plus more) and also an early childhood education degree. Also a parent and oldest is 23 years old.

Average rate per hour for baby under 1 year old in home care is $12-$45 an hour. Crazy!!

I offered parents $5 per hour up to 9 hours and the $7 per hour thereafter. They had requested one day that was 14.5 hours.

Only had watched the baby two days. Previously had discussed that their payday would be mine and we would discuss pay. I had to bring it up.

Was offered $150 for two week and more than 100 hours of care total.

Am I the one with unrealistic expectations?

So, for now, I guess they are looking elsewhere, but good luck.
