[quote=Anonymous]We’ve had several college age part time babysitters (20ish hours a week). Your standards are a bit too high, though I appreciate why the cancellations are annoying. I find that a big part of what college students get from the job is a feeling that our house is their “home away from home” which many really need when they are away from home for the first time (I realize this is not the case for you now because of covid and DL). They are just learning what it means to be an employee. I think it helps to communicate clearly and kindly that you’d like her to do xyz. If you fire her you’d have to replace her, and that position is really hard to fill right now. And as you said she might not even need the money. Our last sitter literally saved all that we paid her to buy an incredibly expensive designer bag. It was her fun money. She wouldn’t have kept the job if I’d been a PITA. [/quote]
