[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid (both the one sitting and who they're sitting for) and the circumstances. A responsible 14 year old with a reasonably well-behaved child for a couple hours, with the sitter's parents in close proximity, is easy. An irresponsible 14 year old with 4 kids she doesn't know, cooking dinner and giving baths, is a potentially deadly risk. I think starting as a "mother's helper" with parents home could work. Or playing with a kid for a few hours in the afternoon rather than handling a bedtime routine. Is your husband worried that your daughter will be abused by the employing family, or that she will put her charges at risk? Different solutions to each concern.[/quote]
