I know it is a funny request, but my wife and I don't want to leave our little guy in the tent while we go climbing in the cirque. Basically get paid to backpack for a weekend. Babysitting only needed while we climb. We are thinking sometime in August or September.

That's a great idea, and I would definitely be interested! I am going on a rafting trip for the first week in August, though.

As soon as I get out of jail I can do it.

If you're asking if parents actually hire babysitters so they can have some time to themselves, then the answer is yes. We either know or interview all babysitters we hire, but we definitely use sitters.

On a different note, there is no water whatsoever up there. You would have to haul a boatload up there if you want to stay longer than a day. Unless you have some secret water source i'm unware of...

Being a parent myself I have no problems letting a sitter watch my son as long as I KNOW the person. But hey, people like you are my job security being a firefighter!

PS You would probably find some good people on Craigslist...

Leave the kid in a tent with your dog. Oh, don't forget to leave food and water for the dog.
