Here's one for Real Reality's file.
For those of you that say you are just babysitters, you're underpaid!

Other high-end types of babysitters include well-educated women who can replace parents in educating children at home. They usually charge 40,000 to 60,000 won per hour, although each agency has its own remuneration policy.

I don't believe everything I read, and find this highly doubtful from personal experience (at least in Daegu). But it does make for an interesting read.

I thought I was a high-priced babysitter at my hagwon but apparently not.
