[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see why babysitter threads need to go to the nanny forum always.

I think a lot of the responses on these thread are written by nannies that want to make more money.[/quote]

I agree.

Nannying is a profession that is very different than a neighbor teen babysitting or being a mother's helper.

A teen babysitting involves neighborhood relationships, sometimes parenting or mentoring of the teen sitter, peer and social issues (for example, My 12 year old is too old for a sitter but isn't mature enough to manage his younger siblings safely...how do you handle sitters?)  If I post a question like that (or like OPs sitter sneaking boys into the house) I want feedback from other moms who might have experienced something similar and not a bunch of nannies on the much less trafficked by moms nanny board. Also, tye only parents on the nanny boards are parents of very young kids looking for nannies or people with nannies who have questions about things like taxes or are having nanny related issues. Parents of teens or older kids aren't over there, but often parents of teens are who posters like OP needs to reach. The audience over on tye nanny boards is a very specific and limited group and is just not visited by most of the parents over on the parenting boards of dcum.

Jeff, I hett if you polled your users, most of dcum would feel the same way, that babysitting questions posted in tue parenting boards should stay put. They usually don't belong in the nanny boards.
