[quote=Anonymous]Just wondering what kind of sitter people hire for their 9 year olds. I have 9 year old twin boys and we feel comfortable letting them stay home alone for no longer than 1 1/2 - 2 hours. We have plans for a Saturday night that will keep us out of the house for about 3-4 hours and we aren't comfortable leaving them alone for that long. They are pretty self sufficient and go to bed pretty late on weekends and it seems weird and expensive to hire a high school student and pay them $15-$20/ hour to just sit there while our kids either watch tv or play video games or entertain them for 4 hours. It seems that we are on the cusp years, and I'm wondering what other people do when their kids hit this age.[/quote]
