[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say low pay - what is the rate?

How many hours is this? Is it for just a date night or something every week on the same day?

How many children? & ages[/quote]

These cannot be main reasons for sitters go away, because these all are stated in ad and even so the sitters are replied to the ad. Only just my first contact they go away.

[quote=Anonymous]You say babysitter so you will get just that - are you expecting someone to do the dishes, laundry? Tutor kids? [/quote]

I have not put anything to the ad or told sitters about that, but the duties are: babysitting, changing diapers, preparing food to the children and cleaning their mess. The most important information about the job is in the ad and they are: 4 hours at once, 2 times a week, 2 toddlers, ages 20 months, and $7 per hour.

I would hope by now that you're clear on why no one is responding to your job listing. You're not even paying minimum wage and you're only offering 16 hours per week. Sitters will want to be compensated more when working part-time and also, you should be willing to pay at least $10/he to find someone who will just baby sit, no one of quality, but they will watch your kids. You should be offering at least $15/hour if you want a quality sitter/nanny[/quote]
