Dave yourself the headache. From what friends say, daycare turned their kids into dream nappers, where there was no sleep happening before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-dilemma#post-913576 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:16:18 +0000 Mrsbells 913576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you are dealing with this..

They might be able to figure it out too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-dilemma#post-913497 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:47:38 +0000 bunnylove08 913497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I'm scared they (the daycare) wont take my bad napper baby. my sister does some magic and she goes out after 5 minutes and sleeps for 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-dilemma#post-913468 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:36:27 +0000 MamaMoose 913468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would find yourself a daycare and save yourself the headache of dealing with issues with future sitters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-dilemma#post-913448 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:30:47 +0000 MamaBehr 913448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was a horrible napper as well, and daycare helped that so much! She started to nap at home, and it was never as long as when she was at daycare, but she was SLEEPING!!! </p> <p>I'm not sure what you should do, but I figured I should share what happened to my bad napper :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-dilemma#post-913220 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:42:59 +0000 bunnylove08 913220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I found out this morning my new babysitter ( hired her last Monday) cannot watch LO 5 days a week. I was furious but didnt show it to her. I told DH we should just find a daycare center and have her socialize with other kids. </p> <p>I seem to be down on my luck with sitters. Our sitter of 5 months cannot watch A for a month because of her religious holiday (a is a bad napper) and I totally understand. She was also in our old neighborhood and the commute would have been killer. Another babysitter (sitter #2) was overwhelmed by A (again bad napper) and she cried all day because she was tired and the sitter couldnt get her down. the new one (sitter #3) we thought was a godsend. she could put LO down and took her out, but she dropped the bomb on us this morning. </p> <p>So I called a family daycare and we're going to see if we can check out the place on Thursday but there will be a delay since we need to get her medical records signed off and her doctor is in our old neighborhood which is an hour away by train. </p> <p>Sitter #3 asked if we could use sitter #2 for 2 days and have them split the hours. I feel like its inconsistent for LO since she already has attachment issues. What would you do? </p> <p>Go to the daycare or use two sitters? </p>
