[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of several PPs who have posted to say that we're the parents of responsible teens who are fortunate enough to find neighborhood job opportunities. Based on this experience, my initial thought was that OP has just been unlucky, but last night my DD had some friends over and I asked them how they would respond to OP. All these kids -- guys and girls -- do a fair amount of babysitting, and they immediately asked the question, "what are the kids like?" They all said that the number #1 reason they would turn a job down is if the kids are out-of-control. They had some pretty hilarious stories of babysitting feral kids; the best of these involved twin 5 y.o. boys who, after being tucked into bed, opened a bedroom window and climbed out onto the roof. Forunately, a neighbor spotted them, rang the doorbell and told the babysitter that the kids were out on the roof "again." [/quote]
