[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this might depend on the relationship you have with them- if you are a regular sitter they know well and this is a one time issue (combo of being out late and your roommate being away), I bet they'll skip drinks or offer to pay for a cab (which is what I would do).  If you don't babysit often, they may still agree to come home early or drive you home, but I think they would be more put off by the request in terms of asking you to sit again?  In the latter case, I might just ask them to give you a ten minute warning when they come home so you can call a cab (explaining it is for safety reasons).  I suspect they'll offer to pay for it or include a tip accordingly.

FWIW, we have one sitter we have to pick up and drop off and I use her only ever as an absolute last resort.  She's a great sitter but the pick up and drop off element makes it just too much of a pain for us and as much as we like her, we have other sitters we like as much who can drive to us.

Also, if you feel that unsafe coming home late, you should seriously consider moving.[/quote]
If she's in the ballpark of your $15/hr nanny, she probably can't.[/quote]
