According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), domestic employees such as babysitters are not subject to FLSA regulations if they earn less than a certain threshold amount per year. As Paloma earned $1,250 in a calendar year, she does not earn enough to be considered a domestic employee and consequently, FLSA rules do not apply.
