[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the thoughts and advice. All helpful. Yeah, I was planning to pay the eldest and thinking about incentive pay for the other two. I guess my big question is does the eldest go to sleep if parents are out late? Ours definitely needs her sleep and is usually asleep at the same time as our youngest or just after. Middle kid is the night owl. [/quote] I'm the one with six kids. When one of them is babysitting, we just say that one goes to sleep last. After the younger ones are in bed and settled. They don't have to wait until the others are asleep, but they have to be settled in bed, lights out (or secretly reading with a flashlight). [/quote] Oh, that works. She can definitely be last in bed and I know she’d be helpful with her brother. But do they go to sleep? Obviously a paid babysitter isn’t usually falling asleep at your place. [/quote] Sure. They're in bed, in pjs, so it's fine to go to sleep. [/quote]
