[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a lovely idea--just don't say "hey, I'll sit for free!" Give them an anniversary card with a voucher good for one free night of babysitting ("up to X hours on a Friday or Saturday night on a mutually agreed upon date"). Then you aren't doing it for free--you're giving it as a gift. (I'd be mindful of the fact that they might expect it again next year, but then, if you're still there next year at this time you might be happy to give it again.) What you don't want to do is agree to sit one night and then tell them "oh, you don't have to pay me tonight, it's your anniversary!" That does set an expectation that they don't always have to pay.[/quote]
