[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My next-door neighbor has two boys.
One is ten and her other is fourteen.
The fourteen yr. old has Aspergers & mostly keeps to himself in his room when not in school.

She rarely leaves her kids with a sitter, but had to on Fri. night.
She found a great sitter via Care.com who agreed to watch the ten year old for $16/HR.

Since the fourteen yr. old never leaves his room, my neighbor mentioned that he didn’t need a sitter.

Well when my neighbor arrived home, the sitter told her that since there were two kids in the home, then she had to charge for the extra child even though she wasn’t specifically asked to babysit him since he was “older.”

My neighbor paid the extra money but was peeved at the sitter.

I agree w/the sitter.
Anyone under 18 should be included in the babysitter’s overall rate, while my neighbor thinks the sitter should only have been charging for the younger son since the eldest son didn’t need any hands-on care.
He warmed up his own dinner and entertained himself.
Who is right?[/quote]
The "great" sitters that I know get more than $16/hr.
