you live in calif.


did you see this Law Calif passed ? This will just make some parents leave their kids home alone.

CA Assembly Trying To Kill Parents' 'Date Nights'
So you'll need a babysitter AND a backup babysitter.

Under AB 889, household “employers” (aka “parents”) who hire a babysitter on a Friday night will be legally obligated to pay at least minimum wage to any sitter over the age of 18 (unless it is a family member), provide a substitute caregiver every two hours to cover rest and meal breaks, in addition to workers’ compensation coverage, overtime pay, and a meticulously calculated timecard/paycheck.

and I think vacation pay/time. So you need two babysitters or do you need to give the substitute sitter a break period also. Now who is gonna come over to your house every two hours for just 1/2 an hour.

Have they lost their minds in Calif ?
