[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s weird you leave a meal out that then needs to be cleaned up after, leftover stored, etc. most people leave money for pizza.[/quote]

Even pizza has to be cleaned up. If you eat on plates at the table - which most people with young kids are going to to do - you need to clear the plates off the table when you’re done and put them in the dishwasher. Same with toddler dishes. Generally pizza will lead to crumbs, so you need to wipe down the table and throw away the paper napkins.

Again, this is not a big deal but it’s not something I would want to do after getting home late from a date night. Especially if the babysitter had several hours after the kids fell asleep to clean up after herself.

As a teenage sitter, I would move dirty dishes to the kitchen sink at a minimum, and wash them if I had time to do so after kid(s) were in bed.  Seems like common courtesy.  That said, packing up leftover "real food" (as in, not just wrapping a few pizza slices in foil) is something for which OP should provide clear direction: "Here's some Pyrex, could you please stash the leftover goulash and quinoa when you and Larlo are done?"[/quote]
