My 10 year old just got her first job, fucked it up, apologized to her boss, and figured out what she'll do differently at her next shift. Maybe you just know the wrong kids?

My generation sucks. But we're not all condemned..
When I babysat, I absolutely cleaned up after us and left the house a bit cleaner than I found it after the kids were in bed. There is no difference between a babysitter and a nanny except to me a babysitter works 30-40 hours and a babysitter is occasional. For $15 an hour, I expect a lot. For $8-10, ok, play with the kids, but at 21, to expect a professional salary for a care taking job is a bit absurd. Family is family - you don't charge as one day you may need help too and would want them to help without expecting payment.
