[quote=Anonymous]Anyone else have this problem? I have two part-time sitters, middle aged ladies, each babysits regularly once per week. I literally have to build an an extra 30 minutes at the end of their scheduled babysitting time because they both will not get out the door. They're recounting anecdotes about the kids, telling me about their lives, and just droning on and on. It's gotten to the point where one of them doesn't even get up when I come home. She stays stationed on the couch. Even if I don't sit down and stand by the front door, with the door ajar for her to leave. She doesn't get the hint.

I also have a college age babysitter I use occasionally, and never ever have this problem with her. I come home, pay her, exchange brief pleasantries, and she's out the door. She's got stuff to do!

Any advice for getting bored, lonely babysitters out the door? It's gotten to the point where I'm considering changing sitters because of this nuisance -- even though I'm generally satisfied with their babysitting services. I'm not looking for a friend, just a sitter![/quote]
