[quote=Anonymous]You are calling her a babysitter and not a nanny.

Yes I do things a bit differently when I am babysitting vs nanning. But my rates are different.

If you want a nanny (and with the low hours you may have a hard time) than you will need to look for a nanny - and pay more perhaps.

She is young and I am sure other babysitting jobs for her are just sitting around while the kids play (which yes she should ingage but children need alone time too and not full 24 hour playmates). Try to remember (if you did) any babysitting as a teen or college student.

Perhaps talk to her first and see what is going on. She may really not think anything of it. I have an 19 year old sister and I can't get her off her phone! To her it is just a part of life (and something they (the younger generation) will learn someday that it is not your whole life). If she is never told it is wrong than how will she know. Yes she is 18 - but has she held any other job besides babysitting? Just because she is legally an adult doesn't make it so. [/quote]
