No- she wasn’t babysitting. Babysitting is done by someone other than a parent or person who has custody. Just like it is stupid to say a father is babysitting for his own kids.

Why do you falsely assume our species ability to have compassion and empathy didn't play into that?
We are a social species, and sharing is an important aspect of that evolution. I think the kid was simply remembering all the other times I went in prior, and was smiling and nice to his mother. I think he picked up on that, and offered me a recognition of that connection. I am also sure if it had not been pennies, if it had been candy or a toy, he would have done the same thing and offered me it.
Ok so are you vice Captain Contrarian? Vice President Pedantic?
An adult watching over any child, parent are not, is still watching over a child. Sorry you got stuck on the word "babysitting".
