My sweet little Caitlin is almost ready to be "used and abused" by her mother as I can not wait for her to babysit for me. A friend in our ward who teaches piano lessons asked me if Caitlin could start babysitting for her during the lessons. This is such a big deal as she will be getting paid to watch three little kids and the mom will be there in the home. Catherine, the mom, was telling me that she is a great "babysitter trainer" and I know this will be a great starter for her before she begins to do the real thing. I was telling Caitlin how important it is to be attentive to the kids and to always clean up. When Caitlin got home she was so excited as she got $20 (for the next two weeks) and she told me that Catherine was really impressed with her because she kept the little ones happy and she also cleaned their rooms! That's right... my daughter the babysitter! My only problem is that Caitlin will want to babysit for anyone but her own siblings! Will I need to up minimum wage for my own kid? Maybe... if she throws in ironing and doing dishes.

Yeah--then she can babysit for me!!! She is so cute and I would totally trust her!! Hopefully we can move closer but she is worth the drive!! Love you guys! Jamie
ummm, i wish we lived closer so that she could babysit for us!! she'd way rather babysit for me than you!! :) and i'd pay her good too. i'm so happy you taught her to clean up too (none of the girls i get clean up..and it drives me nuts!!!)
She is so cute and I wish she lived close so I could hire her! Babysitters that clean are the BEST!!! We've thought about throwing in an extra $10 for a little cleaning/laundry folding...it would be so worth it!!
My Catie has an official babysitting job!!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!! Do you think she'll be able to handle all 14 of the grandchildren when we get together next time?????????? I'll pay her really, really good!
