Answer 1

if your don't feel comftable with doing it then you need to tell them. There is nothing wrong with that.

Answer 2

Not at all
some people don't want you to bath their kids and
some expect you to if you are baby sitting at night it is all about the parents.

Answer 3

Nope. Just simply say, "I don't feel comfortable bathing the children. Is this something that is going to jeopardize my job, or could you just simply bathe them prior to me sitting for them?" You have to realize that they may seek another babysitter if you aren't willing to bathe their children. Hopefully though, they won't care. They do need to know that you don't want to bathe them though.

Answer 4

Not at all! I would be thrilled if my sitter did this. I don't ask her to bathe my child when she watches her. I do this before she comes or in the morning after I get home.

Answer 5

Not at all. It is fine for one thing to not be in your comfort zone and most parents would never think twice about bathing their children first anyway. To me, it is parental thing to do anyway and I would never assume someone else wants to bathe my children.

Answer 6

Not only would I ask it, I'd require it or they could find another babysitter.

My wife and I ALWAYS bathed our children before the sitter got there; it's only right.

Answer 7

I think it's fine. And not all kids are bathed every evening anyway, or even in the evening.

Answer 8

in case you relatively does no longer techniques bathing her (regardless of if it means not greater pay), than ask the parents in the event that they could such as you to furnish her a shower any time during the week. be careful the way you ask, you do no longer p.c. to furnish the effect which you think of she's grimy or isn't being nicely cared for. in simple terms say, I spend a great style of time with your daughter, in specific situations we run out of issues to accomplish that i grew to become into thinking in case you desire me to furnish her a shower to bypass the time & relieve some greater loose time for you interior the evenings? For myself, being a mom, i does no longer be delicate with somebody else giving my newborn a shower, in simple terms with the aid of fact i could be paranoid that they could leave the bathing room for a minute - to respond to the telephone, grab her pjs, or regardless of, & something undesirable could take place. As for the dishes, i does no longer ask. If i grew to become into bored, i could do them, besides the shown fact that, with the aid of fact it grew to become into my selection, i does no longer assume greater fee. back this is mushy, the determine my experience relief, or could experience which you think of her homestead isn't sparkling sufficient. Your significant job is to look after the newborn, so house household initiatives does no longer must be included. If the newborn takes a snooze i could say that's okay to do dishes. If the newborn does no longer take a snooze, i does no longer do the dishes with the aid of fact jointly as the newborn is wide awake your job is to look after her, no longer the homestead. somebody else made a remark approximately your pay, I in simple terms ought to assert that your pay is impressive! $2 hundred/week for a million newborn is great pay...the place i'm from authorized homestead daycare vendors in elementary terms gets a commission $one hundred/week/newborn!

Answer 9

No, I would expect them to if the kid isn't old enough to bathe him/herself.

Answer 10

thats fine.

Just be honest with them.

I personally wouldnt want a babysitter to bath my children anyway.

Answer 11

Not at all, I'd rather some one be up front with me then do something they are uncomfortable with when it concerns my child. Or not do it or explain why and I think they are disregarding my instructions.
