That’s what I thought, unless this 16 year old has a degree I thougth it was outrageous that her father thinks she should be paid $750.00. The father has no idea, what a mothers helper get paid. Sorry they do not get paid in that bracket, ever, even if the family well-to-do.
Maybe an adult professional with years of experience and 100 degrees in the subject and is physical therapist. Guess she needed an awakening, in the matters of the pay of teenagers, particularly summer jobs. I am sure if the original poster won’t accept the amount offered, they will find another girl who will gladly take that $200 weekly amount and make a few hundred dollars for the summer.
