Well anytime you get a babysitter, bedtime will be off a bit, but if the kids managed reasonably close to proper time, and arn't too terrible the next day it all worked out ok.

On the other hand if the complaints of misbehavior are about bedtime, suggest that it might have been easier with the recomended story....

IMO 'babysitting' is all loss of personal time till they are asleep..so while being a mom I cna be online while they are here playing, if I were babysitting, I would feel I was being paid to play with them/interact...so if that is the problem, tell you r babysitter what you expect..and pay them accordingly.
