I guess we could. Others did reach out to me, but it too late.

OP here, these were my thoughts as well. We gave her a shot and the kids enjoyed her. Since it's two kids, I figured it was an ok price price. We are going to suggest reducing to $10 if we have to provide transportation.


You are such a terrible troll If $13/hour is too much for a sitter, you need to stay your ass at home. And if you don't want to drive her, then don't, but charging her for it is ridiculous.


Not a troll and we will enjoy our date nights twice a month. Just getting thoughts from others. I wish you well.

You should negotiate a flat rate for transportation independent of hourly rate. Why should transportation cost more if she stays with your kids 7 hours v. 3 hours?



Good point.
