My Sister is an assistant preschool director at a Christian Preschool and she makes like $15 an hour (despite almost having her doctorate--she finishes school in Sept or Dec I forget). She works really hard and then goes home to her own five children. Yeah, I have two cats. I barely can take care of myself and my two cats. I definitely couldn't take care of 5 children. Although her oldest is 17 and the second oldest is 15 so they help with the youngers 11, 6, and 2. But what my sister makes is ridiculous. I think she should easily make $35 to $45 an hour because a class full of little children is crazy hectic.
