[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a professional nanny who babysits during the evening several times per week. If a new client were to ask me to come over to play with the kids for 1-2 hours on a random night, I wouldn't babysit for her.  I would absolutely view you as annoying and high-maintenance.
Good babysitters usually don't need new clients.  I wouldn't be willing to jump through your hoops.[/quote]

That's ridiculous. We're talking about a paid job. Are you intimidated by parents who care who they leave their children alone with? What are you trying to hide? [/quote]

No one is trying to hide anything. Most nannies who take evening jobs are incredibly busy though, and don't really need to spend an additional evening with you and your children. We are talking about maybe feeding your kids dinner and putting them to bed, it's not rocket science and most nannies have been doing it since they were 13 or 14. Ask for a reference if you are really that concerned, but 30 minutes should be more than enough time to judge if someone will be a good sitter. And if it doesn't work out, then you may have to cancel your precious plans...if it is something really important, don't rely on someone you have never met. It's pretty simple stuff. [/quote]

That is an "additional evening" babysitter would be compensated for. So again, what are you trying to hide? [/quote]
