WHY WE DECIDED TO PAY OUR BABY SITTERS MORE THAN THE GOING RATE.

WHY WE DECIDED TO PAY OUR BABY SITTER MORE THAN THE GOING RATE. We also decided to pay our baby sitters a premium over the going rate, but for a slightly different reason. We did not have a regular schedule for going out. We went out rarely and usually when we did it was for an important occasion. Sometimes the occasion arose at the last minute. None of this would be attractive from a baby sitter’s point of view, so the premium we paid was an attempt to compensate for those disadvantages. Kids, you will note that you could also analyze this by saying that the services involved were different than the services to which the “going rate” applied. Regular customers often pay a different price, for example.
