[quote=Anonymous]I work part-time and  have a babysitter for 9 hours per week split between 2 days.  I think I hired to young, the babysitter is 18 y.o. and when I have checked on her on our drop cam (she knows it is there), she is always sitting down, mostly by herself, playing with her phone.  During dinner she is sitting at the other side of our kitchen playing on her phone while my 1 year old and 4 year old are at the other side of the kitchen eating.  She is sitting by herself while my 4 year old is playing by himself and the baby is sleeping.  
She seems to think that her job is to supervise and keep them safe, but not necessarily to engage them in play.    I feel like these are small issues, but since she is new (I had 2 great babysitters before) I am thinking maybe I should get someone who will be more active and not just sit on the couch (she is overweight so possible that is a factor).  She also seems to get pretty frustrated with the energy of my 4 year old, and doesn't want him to mess up the house with his toys.  [/quote]
