[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not worried about losing the sitter as there were ten applicants for her job, I am just concerned that I have reasonable expectations of her.  It seems like many here— and the babysitter herself— thought it was reasonable for her to do the babies lunch dishes and clean the high chair so that’s all I will expect moving forward.

Re: Starbucks, yes everyone including her and of course we would pay.  There is one down the street I thought it might be nicer to ask that than “sit in the living room being quiet for an hour while the baby sleeps”.

I don’t understand the question about my mom working? What did she do as a mother? All the usual things mothers do?

Good luck, OP.  You’re going to lose this babysitter and the nine others already accepted other jobs.

Lighten up.  You need to change your attitude on assigning tasks for her.   Babysitters play with the children.  That’s it.

But try it your way.  Just swear to be honest and let us know how your attitude and expectations work out for you.  See you in September. [/quote]

Wow is this the op?

If so you really need to chill. If this is your attitude you won’t keep a “babysitter” for long. You’ll run through them like water and come back here to complain that you don’t know what wrong.

Just coming from your attitude posts - it seems you can’t afford a quality nanny. Stick your kid in daycare and move on. [/quote]
