[quote=Anonymous]My single, child-free sister helps us regularly with babysitting- not daycare, but episodic babysitting. Actually, she usually offers to sit at least once on the weekend (we're lucky!). We don't pay her, but she often is with us anyway even when she's not sitting, so we pay for meals when we go to dinner or just include her for dinner/lunch/breakfast at home. Or, we'll do a BJ's run and she'll put in an order and we just pay for it (never a large amt). I think my sister would say that even more rewarding than any kind of money is the relationship she's built with my kids. In fact, she once told me that she loved them so much, she wasn't sure she could love her own (hypothetical) children as much.[/quote]
