[quote=Anonymous]Right now, you’re paying for custodial care and flexibility with someone who cares about your child.  If you want better quality of care, increase the incentive for her or make it easy for her.

“Hey x, I was thinking about getting a membership to xyz and adding you and my child.  Is that something you’d like to do with them?  Is there something else you’d prefer?  Would you need a metro pass to take them?”

“Child was telling me they are curious about cars/weather/electricity/whatever.  If I provide x toy they can play with independently, y box so that they can make a quick craft (with child-friendly directions, minimal adult help needed), would you read them this book and then let them look through it independently later?”

“I’m trying to cut down on screens and/or make them more worthwhile for child.  Would you be willing to switch from tv to abcmouse or khan academy kids?  While child is doing that, you could watch your shows on your phone…”

“X playground is so great!  It’s gated, so kids can’t run out without you knowing, and and there’s so many kids there!  Have you talked to any of the adults there?  I was thinking that you and child would enjoy z treat on the way home!”

You could also offer a monetary bonus each day she takes your child out.[/quote]
