[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The family pays, not you!  She should reimburse you the $45.  It is her responsibility to provide the sitter with crafts, reimburse you for gas, and any food bought for kids.  At $15/hr, this is dirt cheap, you should pay for nothing![/quote]

The family should pay if its agreed upon first.  Sitter should not go out and buy what she wants and then demand payment.  $45 is a lot for craft supplies.  I would not agree and I'd be annoyed if she brought things like fabric paints in my house without asking.  Its nice she takes the initiative but you get permission first.[/quote]

She should then return it to Michael's.  If you are too cheap to provide craft activities for you children then they can watch TV all day.[/quote]

We have crafts but specific ones.  I don't want fabric paint, slime and other stuff in my house.  I have no issue with my kids watching tv all day provided they do workbook and practice their instruments daily.  Mine aren't craft kids so its a non-issue.  She can buy what she wants but should ask if paint and messy stuff is ok in the house and she should ask first if she's looking for reimbursement.  You can get stuff a lot cheaper than Michaels.[/quote]
