[quote=Anonymous]My employers always use other sitters for weekend sitting. Sometimes one set of grandparents will watch the kids, and other times they ask one of the high school girls who live a couple houses down.

It doesn't bother me a bit. I already work 50 hours/week, and MB doesn't want me to get burnt out. My charges are the only set of grandchildren on one side and the only local set on the other side; so the grandparents like having extra opportunities to spend with the kids.

The neighborhood high school girls are great. They are really responsible (well one set of sisters is...the other set not so much so they don't really get asked), and they are much less expensive than I am. If MB can ask one of the girls to come over for a few hours on a weekend night it's easier than me needing to drive over 30 minutes to get there (and cheaper). Plus, the kids love having a new face to play with them. With the high school sitter it's all about having fun. With me they'd likely have to contribute to cleaning the kitchen, doing some learning activity, etc...

The high school sitters will likely be my backup this summer whenever I have to leave for a few hours to attend to site visits related to my internship. [/quote]
