I have posted several ads about caring for kids on the weekends. I also answer many ads on care.com, sittercity, craigslist etc.
My question is when the parent lists pay as between $5-$15 an hour or whatever it may be, how do you ask nicely how much the pay actually is?
The reason why I am asking is that I live in a small town. It takes me 30 mins to get to a major city. My full time job is 45 mins (on a good day) away. I do not mind the travel. However, if I am going to be traveling, as 30-45 mins away, I don't want to work for no $5.00 an hour. That won't even cover gas!
I would rather ask before I even go on these interviews so I am not wasting anyone's time. However I don't want to appear rude either.
Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks!
