Agreed. I had my 16 yr old in the house alone with a painter briefly last week (when I went to pick up other child). I told the painter that my teen and her dad would be coming home (although it was just teen and I told her to go in her room and lock the door). No on an 11 year old.


Look up Goff murders and do not do that again


THIS!

No way on this earth would I ever do with the OP is suggesting. NO WAY. NOT EVER.

Nope.

In-home childcare jumps through hoops with background checks, references and still they aren’t trusted immediately. Nobody asks for references for a painter being home alone with a preteen or teen.

I'm a pretty relaxed parent too but this sets off alarm bells for me.
