um teens sims can already baby-sit
I think people are thinking more of an active babysitting, where you actually can see them rather than it being "off screen".
Babysitting money (and other money made by teens) brings up something else I'd like to see -- individual accounts as part of the main household accounts. You could have a teen that paints and sells masterpieces, but when they move out of the house they lose all that money they made and start with the base 20K Simoleons. You have the same issue when you've got a roommate or two; they might contribute a lot more than you do but you can kick them out and keep everything they earned and bought. Some sort of personal account system would make things a lot more realistic, and would give more purpose to having a part-time job for teens. They could earn money for University (if/when that pack comes along) or for when they move out on their own so they can either afford a nicer place or at least upgrade the furniture in their starter place.
Separate bank accounts are so needed. It would make it more realistic and teens that work could actually save the money they earn for future use.
