KELLER Obviously people are a little reluctant to share their views concerning babysitting — or it could be that some of you are just sitting back in the hope that someone else will express your views for you, I did have one telephone call from an unidentified lady, during the weekend. Her viewpoint was most valuable since she was able to discuss the matter from both sides — as a parent who has hired sitters for her own children and as the mother of teenagers who are now working as babysitters. As a parent, the lady remarked that she preferred to have a babysitter arrive a half hour or so before she left the house. The reason was twofold, she explained. It gave her an opportunity to dress without the full responsibility for the children and it gave her a chance to see how the babysitter and the children got along. She said she liked a girl who came into the house for the first time and attempted to get to know the children with a cheery "Hi. What's your name"? rather than a sullen face and a detached attitude. Another important factor in her estimation was the babysitter's ability to stay awake or at least, nap very lightly. Some babysitters fall asleep so soundly they cannot be aroused by parents banging on the door or children screaming for attention. * * * Apparently some babysitters don't mind being called at the last minute "if it is necessary." At least my caller informed me that the teenagers in her household who babysit recognize the fact that certain situations make it impossible for parents always to know several days in advance that they will require the services of a babysitter. However, a two or three day notice is desirable according to my informant. What seems to be most distressing to a babysitter is the parent who will make arrangements with the sitter to pick her up at 8 pm and then not arrive until closer to 9 pm. The sitter may have arranged her schedule to be ready at 8 pm and may have had time to go down to the library or wash and set her hair had she known her transportation would not arrive until 9 pm. Some sitters agree they should be paid from the hour they are supposed to be picked up — not from the hour they actually start work. Incidentally, the average babysitting fee in this area seems to be 35 cents an hour before midnight and 50 cents an hour after midnight. General opinion among babysitters though, is that 50 cents an hour straight through would not be out of the way. Should the fee be more if there are several children in the family? Well, most babysitters feel it is certainly worth a little extra per hour if they have to put five or six youngsters to bed, especially if the children do not all belong to the one family. For instance, two or three couples may group their offspring together at one house in order that they may save on the babysitting costs. Babysitters feel this is worth some extra consideration at the end of the evening. By the way, my caller told me about an experience one of her teenagers had while babysitting for a regular customer, Since the girl had been to the house before and knew where the children slept she assumed that everything was the same as usual. She checked on the sleeping children periodically. Late in the evening she was frightened by an unusual sound from the parents' bedroom. Upon investigation she found a neighbor's child asleep on the bed there. Very likely the parents had just forgotten to mention the presence of the extra child but the sitter was shaken because she would have been held responsible for the youngster even though she was not aware he was in the house. In case of fire, she noted, she would not have thought to check the parents' bedroom and the youngster could have perished. Do babysitters mind washing dishes? My caller said her babysitting teenagers do not mind and do not even charge extra for the service. They do, however, expect the lady of the house to take notice and offer some kind of thanks for a job well done. In answer to a question posed in last week's Tea 'n Topics regarding babysitting older children, my caller said her teenagers like a flexible bedtime hour for these youngsters. What's more, good babysitters are ready and willing to entertain their charges whether with games or stories or anything else the children may suggest that is within reason. There was no real answer to the question about what babysitters expect from children six to ten years old, although it was generally assumed throughout the conversation that respectful bahaviour makes for the very best working conditions. If anyone has any additional comments to make, either as a parent or as a babysitter, I would be most pleased to hear from you. In the meantime, I'm gathering information from all kinds of sources for a special feature later this month concerning babysitting. * * * Speaking about babies and children I was somewhat appalled by the words I read in a women's medical news service bulletin this week. According to that, there are many of us who are in trouble with our young families., The report noted that a two-child family is an ideal family. Studies show that small lower class families have been found to score higher on intelligence tests than children from large middle class families. Contrary to a popular belief, the report continued, children from large families are less self-reliant and less mature than children from small families. With parental attention spread thin, intellectual and emotional development may suffer. Of young men rejected for important positions, it was estimated that 70 percent came from families where there were four or more children. We're already one over the ideal quota of children at the Keller house. I would not be a bit surprised if many of you girls who read this have more than two children scampering around your kitchen. I really think there is some hope left for the kids from larger families. At least they will have learned how to scrap and fight their way to the top of the heap. — Please turn to page 9 Starting this September the Home Economics Division of Centralia College of Agricultural Technology will offer 4 new program in the two-year diploma course to improve and update the course. First-year students will take a general course, with 50 percent of the time spent on home economics subjects, and the remaining 50 percent on the behavioral and biological sciences. In the second year of the program the curriculum will include a food option, a community homemaker option, and a clothing option. Thus the girl with special talents and interests can concentrate on her chosen field during her graduating year. Students will be encouraged to work in an area of their option between the first and second year. Food option graduates will have excellent opportunities for employment in the food service industry. They will be able to work in hospitals, restaurants, school and college dining rooms, ENGAGED—Mr. and Mrs. Aurel Dikin of Warren, Michigan, wish to announce the engagement of their daughter, Faith Constance to Garry Vivan Cooper, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vivan Cooper, Kippen.
