[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We occasionally hire a teenager to babysit our young children, ages 2.5 and 3.5, while we take care of errands on the weekend. In her defense, our kids are a little wild and don’t nap or sleep when she’s there. But we pay her well ($25 an hour) and she can easily make $200 plus tip on a Saturday afternoon. But she leaves our house a total disaster area. Toys and books everywhere, in every room. Dishes, while clean, stacked on one side of the sink. Pillows in disarray in both the family room and living room. Water splashed all over the bathroom sinks. It’s like she doesn’t even try to pick up as they go. Am I expecting too much? We spend a good hour/hour and a half cleaning the next morning. I’m just wondering what level of clean you expect to come home to when you have a sitter watching your kids for the day. [/quote]

You hired her to BABY sit not to clean up after your disastrous children.  As long as she is BABY sitting then she is doing the job for which she was hired.  You should have been teaching your children long ago to put their toys away and to stop making messes when they eat.[/quote]
