[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids, now in their teens and early 20s. When they were little we hired lots of neighborhood kids to babysit, help with parties, mow the lawn, give swim lessons, etc. I can only remember a couple who were not responsible; the others were terrific and we're still glad to see them from time to time when they're back in town. As my kids got older they started working in the neighborhood -- our youngest is an amazing babysitter -- and we've always heard good feedback from their employers. OP, I wish I could suggest something to help, but maybe you've just been unlucky. To those posters who have suggested that kids from more affluent families aren't as hard-working, I have to say that we live in a pretty affluent neighborhood where the kids don't "have" to work, though many are savers, including my own, so they're motivated to earn money.
