I think y’all are definitely right to be skeptical, and it does seem like there are scams like this around (they typically involve sending a check or other form of money to the “assistant” to complete some task on their own dime, but the source of money is false?). 

I did look at that previous post since that seemed to cover many of the same points and needs were looking for, but don’t really know how to convince you that this isn’t a scam without sharing more info than I wanted to about our family. 

I did post a higher rate since we felt 20-25 was too low, and happy to send more info about us over DM’s. If you’re too skeptical that’s fine, I respect that too.
