We're in that in-between age on babysitters. Thing Two and Petunia aren't ready to be left alone for more than a short while in daylight. Thing One can be left at home for more extended periods, with and without his siblings, but he really doesn't like being home at night sans adults. I get "Where are you?" texts from him every five minutes after dark. The problem is trying to find a sitter who can watch a large thirteen year-old boy in addition to his younger siblings! Most high schoolers are too close to him in age and size to be legitimate authority figures, and adult sitters are hard to come by. Who guards the not-quite-fully-fledged guardian?
