[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! I feel so much better about this! My SIL spooked me by saying I'll end paying to babysit the 12 year old and now have to entertain her too. But I really think it will be helpful to have the extra hands once a week and yes I'm a few years having someone we trust to actually babysit would be amazing if this works out [/quote] 12 year olds are 7th graders. My 7th grader has taken basic and advanced babysitting lessons and is CPR certified (thank you, Girl Scouts!). She is MORE than qualified to be in the same room alone with your twin toddlers. Goodness, OP, get a grip![/quote] Same for my DD. She's been working as a mother's helper for a 1 and 3 yo and gets paid $15 for 2 hours. She generally watches the kids in the basement playroom while the parents are upstairs.[/quote]
