Is now really the best time to give the babysitter the shaft?enCommunityServer 2007.1 (Build: 20910.1126)http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archive/2008/10/29/is-cutting-the-sitter-s-pay-the-best-way-to-save-money.aspx#141374Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:59:38 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:141374Kris<p>It's not within my power to cut my sitter's wage, since it's a center, but I wouldn't anyway.</p> <p>Now the spa package????
