[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for everyone, but I am in the market for a babysitter, not to use often or regularly but to kind of "have in hand" if something comes up. I would feel kind of presumptuous or rude reaching out to a fully-employed adult to meet me/my kid, have a short paid hang out session to get to know each other, and keep her number for occasional, intermittent use going forward. I feel like a teenager's time is less valuable and their income options are more limited so saying "can you come over to meet DD for two hours on Thursday just to play some games or go to the playground while I make dinner and we can see if it's a fit?" is not a waste of their time. But I'd feel like it was a crazy ask from a mom with kids of her own.[/quote]
