[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. But I might be ok with this for my best sitter, who is truly exceptional. When I cancel with sitters I tend to book a rain check day - "let's do next week instead," etc.[/quote]

So what? Your sitter still missed income for the day you canceled.

Y’all suck. [b]If I cancel on anyone providing a service for me at a point where they can’t fill that time slot, I pay 100%. [/b]Based on folk’s reactions, I am clearly in the minority.[/quote]

Agree.  I didn't realize this when I was first hiring sitters.  I cancelled once or twice when a child was sick, and didn't pay.  They organize their day around your job, and last minute cancellations are a great inconvenience, so now that I've thought it through, we pay in full.  On the flipside, it can also be a total disaster when a babysitter cancels last minute, so I always appreciate when they take the time to give me a friend's number or someone else who can fill in, recognizing what a hardship their cancellation is for me.[/quote]
