It's not Halloween tonight. I'd just ignore it.

I agree. Its not Halloween tonight. Surely they're not expecting you to do something for Halloween?

Halloween is on sunday.

I presume youve babysat before?

If you have then youll know that if the children are up its just stories or a film you watch or they play quietly,ideally through a professional babysitting company and as the pay is so low Id hope the children were in bed.

I've used sitters for years and all the babysitters do is say hello to my eldest before he goes to bed.

They don't do anything at all with the children as they're in bed asleep.

Hopefully that will be the case for you too.
