[quote=Anonymous]When I use 'adult' babysitters (i.e., people with their own kids/families/other jobs), I do always feel a bit guilty about asking them to sit during the day on weekends or asking them to extend or come early or, like a pp mentioned, to come over for just a few hours. I know this is totally irrational since they agreed and I am paying them!! But maybe folks are feeling that way? Or, if you are a neighbor and are already friendly with each other, they may not want to spoil the good relationship you already have with 'business'. In any case, I would find your regional Facebook group for babysitters (e.g., I am in one for Northern Virginia) and post there explaining your situation, and I am sure you will get outreach! And increase your rate to at least $20 for 1 - $18 is too low.[/quote]
