To offer to double our babysitter's hourly rate if she does some ironing too this evening?

she can only say no.

go for it, she might well appreciate the little extra this close to xmas, and you get a job done

So how much will you pay her in total?

That is the best idea I have heard for ages.

An evening out and coming home to find your ironing all done =heaven.

I'm sure she'll accept if she did your washing up unasked before.

Sounds great.

Definitely ask

That is a great idea, very enterprising.

I used to do this when I babysit - I was only too happy to do something useful and I didn't expect any extra money. Ask - she can only say no!

you can ask

but double my bs rate or even all the money in the world wouldnt make me iron someone else cothes

i HATE ironing and rarely iron my own clothes

I would definitely ask
I would iron other peoples clothes even tjhough I never iron anything

I wouldn't mind being asked but I hate it and it would depend how much I needed the money!

i would love someone to pay me to do their ironing, its a job i don't mind at all, infact what a good idea.

Go for it, great idea.

I would have done it back when I was a teenage babysitter (and been very glad of the money), but only if the kids were in bed, not if they were running around and there was any chance they could knock and iron onto themselves...

I'll be amazed if she says no what a good idea.

LOL- Love it.

Woah!! I'm right cheap at about £4 an hour!! I would jump at the chance of making some more money - if I was offered I'd bite her hand off!!

Did you ask?

No you ANBU just clever (off to find babysiter to ask to iron)

Several babysitters around here do ironing for an extra hourly rate - I think it is not uncommon.

I'd do it for the money!

That's a great idea, I'd definitely take you up on that offer!
