How much are the BSC paid?

[rabbitbongo]

Does the BSC charge a set price for babysitting?  If not do we know which families pay the least and most?

I think descriptions of the record book often say it includes what clients pay what so it varies but I don't think there were specific amounts or comparisons.

Interesting and kind of dumb that the girls wouldn't have a set price. I imagine the Johannsens paying Stacey as much for Charlotte as Mrs. Barrett did Dawn for 3 kids. Would Kristy make more money in the rich people neighborhood? (Or not. A lot of rich people are stingy.) If two calls came in back to back how would they decide who got the $5/hr job vs the $3/hr job? Of course none of that mattered because the girls only cared about the children unless it was a plot line where someone was saving up for something.

Although the BSC was flexible, I am sure they had some structure in price setting, so a handful of parents wouldn't use 'flexibility' as an excuse to not pay at all.

I think it’s flexible based on the family, how many kids, etc. a flat rate would be their starting point and could only go up from there.
