A new bill being considered by the California legislature regarding babysitters had people talking Friday.
Among other things, the bill requires parents to pay babysitters minimum wage.
It also requires parents who “employ” babysitters to make sure they get regular 10-minute breaks and 30 minutes for lunch.
