[quote=Anonymous]Mom of a responsible teen here. My 14 year old daughter babysits for two kids every week day from 9-12 in the summer time. I never have to wake her up, she keeps track of her hours, gets paid by check and deposits the check into her bank account on her own.  She negotiated a raise this year from last year all on her own, and all of her bosses friends have asked for her number for weekend evening babysitting. She is a great babysitter and is motivated to make money, usually for a big item. This year, she is going for her own I Phone-which she can almost pay for already. She may also buy one big wardrobe item-a nice pair of boots, a trendy jacket, etc. We are not in DC for the summer.

In DC during the school year, she has babysitting jobs on many weekends. I have to know the families she works for and initially, the moms will loop me into the communication until they know that she is responsible to communicate for herself. She has to check in with me before accepting any job.

My advice...check with your neighborhood schools, at playgrounds ask fellow moms that you chat with if they have older kids or have friends with older kids. Then contact the mom first.  [/quote]
