[quote=Anonymous]I just read the first page of responses & it appears people prefer younger sitters because they can seemingly get away with more since teenagers are too young to know better. Says a lot about you as people. The downside to hiring an older sitter may be the families are afraid that you may sometimes have a sick child that you will need to stay home with. When if your husband is working & you have no one to watch your child?? An older person with grown adult kids already out of the house may be a better option since these people already have experience raising kids plus they do not have any child-related responsibilities that could potentially interfere with their current job. I would prefer someone who has personally experienced each + every stage of a child’s development vs. someone who just learned it from a book.[/quote]
