Babysitter Tips

When you go out for the first time and leave your baby home with a sitter, your odor can keep him calm and secure. Before going out for the evening, leave behind an item of clothing that you wore all day. - Paula Stewart

Be sure to provide your babysitter with all the numbers necessary in case of an emergency. Always leave your cell phone on. If you're in a quiet place be sure to leave it on vibrate.

Leaving your baby with a sitter can be a challenge, especially for first time mothers. However, as hard as it may be, you should go out once in awhile and give yourself a break. You deserve it! - Tara Smith

Timing is crucial. Your baby is only ready for a sitter when you are. For many parents, this is when a baby is about six months old. Take baby steps. For example have a sitter come for a short period of time and as time goes on you will be able to leave your child alone for longer
