[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our date night sitter is like this. Literally does not touch a single thing. It is kind of annoying not because I leave stuff for her to do but just because I know she sits around for hours once the kids are down and it does not seem nuts to think she could finish clearing the stuff we got half way through tackling in the kitchen before heading out.

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. [/quote]

That's true, but if our sitter is not only great with the kids but also does a bit of tidying up, we give her a big tip, will call her first next time we need someone, and give her an excellent reference if she needs one.

Ditto on the nanny front. When our nanny goes above and beyond we give her bonuses and gift cards, and we make sure we let her know how much we appreciate her in words and with cards and emails.[/quote]
