[quote=Anonymous]Why the snark toward the poster who said maybe she needs a break from your kids? Presumably she's with them 50+ hours a week plus living in the same house as them (and her bosses)? I work 10 hour days with my primary family, and extending the day by 4 hours is much tougher for me than going to a new babysitting job at the end of my regular day. That offers a change of scenery, change of kids, just a different vibe, and it keeps me fresh for my FT responsibilities. Please don't be too precious about assuming she won't ever prefer to work for another family and take a break from yours - it isn't a bad thing and will probably improve her job satisfaction and work performance. If you need a lot of OT or can't guarantee those OT hours, why not hire a different sitter (who'll be cheaper anyway)?[/quote]
