[quote=Anonymous]There was a similar thread a few months ago. That OP wanted exactly this kind of a set up w/o any consideration on what it takes to attract qualified applicants for a job. Yes, this OP may luck out and find someone in the neighborhood through their local FB page or NextDoor who is retired, has a very flex schedule, and looking to pick up some extra money (though guessing OP wants to pay less $16/hour). If so, that's great. But even the one example of a local couple provided in this thread indicated that they wanted a set time for planning purposes.

And a teen watching seniors is just not the same as it is caring toddlers. Yeah, shit can happen, but most teens are not necessarily accustomed to being in a supervisory position with a senior and may be less than successful on executing it.

Finally, as another poster mentioned, who knows if the OP would end up attempting to sue the sitter if something went south - who wants that liability when the OP doesn't even want to pay a proper wage for the work. [/quote]
