"So, we had a sitter last night that we paid $35 an hour for two kids that were only awake for two hours of the time she was here,"
"Not one toy picked up, not one dish put in the dishwasher, washed, even like the food from their dinner plates was just like still on the plates on the counter."
"...Even if the dishes weren't from necessarily like that night, I would do the dishes in the sink. I would clean up all the toys. I would like make sure the house was tidy before the parents came home,"
A parent paid $35 per hour for a sitter and returned home to toys and dishes left untouched despite children being awake for only two hours. The parent compared current sitters to their past babysitting habit of cleaning up without being asked and acknowledged failing to set expectations in advance. The parent plans to state cleaning standards when meeting sitters. Commenters were divided, with some saying sitters are hired to supervise, not clean, and others advising clear upfront communication about duties and compensation.
