It's not like the person watching your child gets to run down the street and grab a cup of coffee at the local 7-11, right??! They cannot even run to their car and grab a book they forgot to bring up.

So no...it is THEIR time. THEIR time that is being spent in your home. Away from their own families by the way.

Do Firefighters get paid less when there is no fire and they sit around playing cards??[/quote]

PP, I'm a parent and I do what the other two people have posted - we have an excellent babysitter who asks $15/hour that we use if it's a period that the kids are going to be awake.  We have a neighbor's 15yo who babysits for $10/hour that we use if we're going out to dinner and a movie down the street after we put the kids to bed - she's THRILLED with this arrangement because it means she just sits on OUR couch on her phone for $50 for an evening rather than sitting on her own couch.  Yes, I am paying for these people's time and I expect them to be present - but they charge different rates because they are offering basically different services.  Why is that so inflammatory?[/quote]
