[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a babysitter, not a nanny and you should tip me. Tip me about an hour's pay. I know that seems ridiculous but you get your money's worth out of it.

Sorry, but that IS ridiculous.

Tipping has gotten out of control.  NO, you do not need to tip a babysitter.  I do typically round up the hour though.[/quote]

It's not ridiculous, since everyone I babysit for does tip me. [/quote]

Well, if you are the PP Babysitter and you really do all that you say you do in your post above, then I think you certainly deserve a tip.  Heck, I would tip you an hour pay.  BUT, I have yet to meet a babysitter who has done those things.  Most of them put my son in front of the TV and just wait out their time.  I'm paying $15 for my child to watch a DVD.  I refuse to pay any tip if that is all that he does.  I even have a hard time rounding up (even though I do it, but it is not because I really want to....).

Now, if I came home and my DS said that he'd been playing at the park, riding his bike, did an art project or cooking project or counted to ten in French, I would up the hourly rate and give you a tip![/quote]
