[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you won't be flexible then don't expect any more work from this family. You don't seem like a very good sitter. Hopefully the family can move on and find someone more serious.[/quote]

It's easier for a sitter to find a new family than for a family to find a new sitter.  
If you reverse what you said, it would be true.  Nice try though.

Not true at all. I am a mom who could find 10 sitters clamoring for my time to interview. I could easily find a sitter thats good enough. There are WAY more sitters out there that need jobs than have jobs.[/quote]

Warm bodies maybe.  I turned down 10 (yes, 10) offers to babysit tonight.
I also get multiple offers for my weekends.
I hear mothers bitching constantly about how it's impossible to find a reliable, trustworthy sitter.
There might be plenty of warm bodies you can pay to sit on your couch for 4 hours while your kids sleep.  You will be hard-pressed to find someone with CPR certification, years of experience (who will actually know what to do if there is a true emergency With your children) and will leave your home in better condition than you found it in.  Sitters like that are one in a million.
If you claim otherwise, you are lying through your teeth.
A good sitter doesn't have to put up with such nonsense.[/quote]

I don't need CPR and years of experience to watch HBO on my couch while my kids sleep. I'm not so on edge about my kids choking in their sleep that I would need to hire someone as stuck up as you. And I highly doubt (or expect) any sitter to clean my home while the kids sleep. I can find a sitter anytime I need.[/quote]
