[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to have older kids babysit younger kids?  Do people still use babysitters anymore or do parents just never have moments away from kids outside of regular working hours?

This is an honest question.  I've been fortunate enough to always have nearby family provide childcare for my kid so I don't know what other people do.[/quote]

You think people's Saturday night babysitters are going watch all the kids that need child care on a snow day?[/quote]

If you paid my 16 year old like 80 bucks she'd probably be thrilled to watch 1 or 2 kids for a snow day[/quote]

Cool, you should advertise that. Good babysitters are in short supply.[/quote]

Heck, I'm a teacher and willing to reach out and reserve space at a local library to watch kids if needed but I'm sure plenty of people would jump in with the whole "unlicensed daycare" argument.  They'd probably have an issue with the fact I am a man as well.

I've said it before in this thread, I'm not going to complain about the problem if I'm not willing to be part of the solution.[/quote]

Damn you have a healthy victim complex.

I'd assume a teacher would be offended at being asked to babysit. I'd never ask. You aren't being asked because nobody knows you are willing to do that. [/quote]

And I am saying I am willing to do it.  I'm getting paid regardless and I know it's difficult for other people who aren't.  I have no problem giving up my day to help out.  It's either that or go out and shovel public sidewalks.  Looks like the Olney Library has space available starting at 10 AM and room capacity is 6 people so I'd be able to watch 5 kids.  Phone number is ‪(240) 308-8306‬.  If nobody reaches out on this then I'll be shoveling sidewalks in Gaithersburg/Montgomery Village at 10 AM.  People can join me there as well[/quote]

That number is flagged for originating SPAM calls...[/quote]

I just registerred it on Google Voice this evening.  I'll look into that[/quote]

Ahh, that's probably why. Those numbers get recycled.[/quote]
