[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait? So if I use a date night sitter every 2 months, I’m supposed to get them a Christmas gift? [/quote]

I said I’m still babysitting almost every week and go to everybody’s birthday parties
And the parents saw me the day before Christmas Eve and on Christmas Eve

If you have a babysitter that comes around once every two months, you don’t have to give her anything if you don’t want to.
But if you happened to see her right before the holidays, I think a little tip/gift would be appreciated. 
I think the problem is that most parents are just nickel and dime their sitters, I mean if you can afford thousands of dollars a year
on nannies, you can’t spend another $25/50/100 on a gift card?!?!?![/quote]

You are providing a service and getting paid.  Sound like you are too enmeshed with this family and think higher of yourself in their family than they do.  They have a new nanny or child care.  You need to stop sitting and move on.  This is not your family and they are not your parents.  You are a grown person.  You are not entitled to get gifts for doing a paid task.[/quote]
