Damn spookyfish for making the joke first.
I only remember the existence of one teenage babysitter, but cannot remember her distinctly. My parents left us unattended sometimes. My brother (5 years older) was the responsible type; nevertheless, there were a few occasions where the furniture suffered for lack of adult supervision.
I did a lot of babysitting as a teen. I started sitting for these two kids when she was 7 and he was 10; by the time he was 13 -- too old for a sitter but too young to be left unsupervised, let alone look after his sister -- I was banking a substantial combat pay differential. Between this kid and his friends, who came over to hang out and swim in the pool, I fought off more gropes in one summer than I did in four years of college.
