[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. But I might be ok with this for my best sitter, who is truly exceptional. When I cancel with sitters I tend to book a rain check day - "let's do next week instead," etc.[/quote]

So what? Your sitter still missed income for the day you canceled.

Y’all suck. If I cancel on anyone providing a service for me at a point where they can’t fill that time slot, I pay 100%. Based on folk’s reactions, I am clearly in the minority.[/quote]

Does this include your Dr? [/quote]

If I cancel a Dr's appointment after their STATED cancellation period, yes, I pay the stated fee they may charge.[/quote]

Which is what? $20?  Way less than your Dr would bill for should you have shown up. I guarantee you are not billed for the full appointment cost.

While your Dr may not be an hourly employee, they are likely compensated based on their productivity.  [/quote]

Doctors and babysitters are apples and oranges.  Babysitters are not bringing home half a million dollars a year.  [/quote]

Canceling is canceling.  The babysitter isn’t somehow more deserving to collect wages for a canceled engagement bc she makes less.  [/quote]
