[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.

I am one of those babysitters who plays with your kids and teaches them stuff. There's no tv. I won't use my cell phone until the kids are asleep.  You'll come home and your five year old will now know how to do a back-walkover or count to ten in French or Spanish. I'll have gotten your potty-training kid to wash their hands like a surgeon.

If they slept while I was there, then when you come home a load of clean laundry will be folded. Or I'll have organized all the kiddie books. Something.

Plus, if you're a good tipper, I will move heaven and earth to always be available to babysit for you. [/quote]

I dont think good babysitters are hard to find. Nice teenagers are readily available in our neighborhood.  Also, thats great if you want to teach my kids to count in another language, but I am not paying you extra for it. I just want you to keep them alive so I can have a night out with DH.

I will give you dinner, allow you open access to our TV, on demand, internet, exercise equipment, video games, and library, but you set your rates and I will pay them. No "tipping" required. [/quote]

I'd love to come babysit for you and you won't have to tip me ;) [/quote]
