As a parent I think its very important to be responsible for your child, but many parents have to work and the children must be left with strangers, in that case all they (the parents) can do is make sure they research the place or strangers before leaving the child, and stay involved ask question be suspicious, and be alert.
As far as you being thumbed down I think and this is TOTALLY opinion that it is because many parents don't have the time to be as responsible as they want to and when some one questions it they become defensive.

Is this a permanent babysitting job, daily 8 hours a day while the parent works? Or is this just a parents night out baby sitting job? If it is a permanent daily job, it is your obligation to talk to the parent and let him/her know how the children behave. If the parent refuses to work with you then you have your excuse to quit your job. If it is a parents night out job, you can tell them each time they call to ask you to baby sit, that you already have another obligation. You aren't lying to them, you didn't say another babysitting job. You do have an obligation to yourself you know ;-) Good luck.

People who are giving you thumbs down either do not have kids or think their kids will never do anything bad..I have a 9 yr old daughter and a 19 month old son and my daughter is a good girl overall but there are times, she has stepped out of line...like trying to wear eyeshadow to go to her friend's house..her friends and her like to play dress-up with heels and one day, they almost went outside wearing stilettos...I was like no way...a nut could just scoop them up!!! She gets disciplined and so does my 19 month old son and i agree with the other posters on daycares...I had my kids at a time when i was able to be a stay at home mother cause i do not trust daycares as they are, also complete strangers!!! You have to be protective of your kids in this day and age...it's sad but a hard, cold fact..here is a star cause you are so right!!!!!!!

I'm do agree with part of this parents need to take more responsibility. However, what dangerous activity would your child be involved in that a stranger would be watching them and you not present???

The people in my neighborhood let three year old kids run around without supervision. There are 57 house in my neighborhood. There is no way I would let my kid at that age even out of my site. They don't know these people in our neighborhood well enough to know if any of them could grab their kid. I have seen a few of these kids fall in the street and go home crying. I feel sorry for the little guys.

yes.... and all the years as a single parent of two, i had to work twice as hard and plan three times as much in order to never put my kids in day care... at one poiint i had 5 diff babysitterrs in one week, and they were all family members,, i did not ever have to pay, but i always had to put more gas in the car and leave extra early to get them there on time...
now i am married with a toddler and the others are grown, and i will never put her in day care, it is still a juggling act but i know she is always with family and not a stranger...

I don't know know why you'd get thumbed down for being a responsible parent. We need more of that, not less.
Good question gets a star.

Kudos to you
I think if people are willing to have a child they should ACTUALLY raise it, they don't want a kid abort or put it up for adoption so another person can look after it properly
