Pros

Flexibility of schedule. Access to an extensive clientele list.

Cons

The starting pay is miserable. And you have to spend a lot of money on buying your own supplies. There are also a lot of unpaid mandatory meetings that you have to attend.

Pros

Benefits of setting availability schedule is a super plus,

Cons

Appointments often made within 24 or 48 hours notice. If you list yourself as "available" you HAVE to work or you'll get a demerit, and after 3 you're fired. Very strict policies regarding cancelling a "booking". You will run into some truly crazy New York parents. A friend of me had a baby gate thrown at her by a client. I personally had to take care of very sick children (then getting sick myself). Disclaimer: Though it's technically in their policy to tell you if the children are sick, but most parents forget to provide that information. 1099 contract - you're going to have to pay tax on whatever you make come tax season. $13 starting wage - a bit low considering the company's employment requirements and how much they make off of you (client pays) $27-$35 per hour). Get $0.50 raise for passing specific tests on written material, making roughly $15/hour after completing all tests.
