Unusual Request?

Had an inquiry to book my house (entire listing) for a wedding weekend. The guest is planning to "have a few children babysat for the evening".....!!!! And, she is assuming that they are free since they are not staying the full night. Not sure how to respond to this one but my inclination is to decline the request.

We have run BnB for 27 years and I can assure you that there are many families with small children who cannot take care of their children while on vacation.  So why would you think that dropping your children off at a strange home with a "hired" babysitter would be a sure thing.  Tell these people to just leave these kids at home with granny!
