[quote=Anonymous]Keep trying but once a kid shows they are not responsible or motivated move onto another teen. We had pretty good success with teen babysitters and mother's helpers when my kids were little, we also found that local college students were more motivated to show up and really needed the money (several such as AU have a website where you can post jobs for their students). But my DDs both had multiple babysitting and other jobs throughout high school, and while their schedules could be tough in terms of finding times they were free, due to sports etc, at least during the year, I don't believe there was ever a time they did not show up and complete a job they had been contracted for. They seem to have innately intense "super egos", the guilt of leaving someone in the lurch would always prevent them bailing at the last minute. [/quote]
