[quote=Anonymous]"You're even nuttier than OP. A date night sitter is just that; a sitter. She feeds the kids maybe, gets them to bed, and she sits. I charge a lot less for sitting jobs, and I view the payment not as payment for the actual work but for the valuable time I'm giving up. Most people like to make plans on Friday and Saturday night, so if you want someone to be at your home so you can go out, THAT is what you are paying for. Your dishes aren't her job "

Agree. It is not "her job" but ages ago I was. Babysitter too and normally tried to pick stuff back up or at least move dirty dishes to the sink so that the house was neat-ish when the parents came home. I still use the sitter - just saying it is low level annoying that she doesn't pick up at all. It is not like the house is a disaster zone but it is literally however we left it when we return even if they were playing with toys that were out or I left a plate of food out for DC to try to continue eating. It is not a reason to not hire the sitter; but it sure would be a factor if I were being asked whether she would make a good nanny. Someone who indicates they will just show up is fine for date night but would make an awful nanny. [/quote]
