[quote=Anonymous]I'm the MB who wouldn't be cool with paying a cancellation fee. I'm not saying that I think it's totally fine to call same day or somethign and cancel but a few days ahead of time - yes, I think that should be OK and I'm perfectly happy to forgo the professional sitters that take issue with this, given that my kids are asleep for 80% of the time and in the midst of bath/teeth/pjs routine for another 10%. Actual play/engagement time is pretty small for the type of date night I do.

"I guess you won't mind if I show up half an hour late then? After all, it's not like it's work you're missing out on -- only a fun little "date night.""

I would not be happy w/ someone being late because it would probably mean we would miss the movie or reservation - we don't leave a lot of extra time in the schedule. But If it happened once or twice I wouldn't refuse to use the person. On the other hand, if our nanny was a 1/2 hr late twice in a month we would be having a very serious conversation.

Those posting here are simply not the type of sitter I use though. So not surprised that you take offense to people who oppose cancellation fees - you probably take it a lot more seriously. I see sitting as a very casual arrangement and that's the sitter market i'm in; entirely different from what I would expect and offer to our nanny.[/quote]
