Do you guys think that's okay? I always make it clear that they can eat whatever they want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383297 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 16:04:54 +0000 SweetiePie 2383297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would vote for pizza with paper plates because it's also less clean up. To make dinner you either expect her to clean up or you have to later on and I wouldn't like either option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383292 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 16:01:57 +0000 daniellemybelle 2383292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We provide something that I think the sitter like and that LO will eat too, like spaghetti. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383281 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:52:49 +0000 yin 2383281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I provide dinner, but my babysitter is my sister who lives with us. :silly: Pizza sounds like a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383261 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:41:08 +0000 Smurfette 2383261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually ask them beforehand or order a pizza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383232 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:16:02 +0000 autumnlove 2383232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make spaghetti or order a pizza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383228 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:11:56 +0000 mrsjazz 2383228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave money for takeout or delivery. Sometimes I ask what they'd like beforehand and order in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383223 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:09:20 +0000 psw27 2383223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always tell her to order takeout and we will pay her back, she's only taken us up on it once. I always feel bad she never eats, but she doesn't seem to mind :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383196 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:50:37 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2383196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a sitter I ate what the family was having or what the kids had. One time I showed up during family dinner time nd helped cook. We had salmon. Most often parents left money for pizza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383194 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:49:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 2383194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost always do pizza in these situations since 1) I usually don't have time to cook and 2) who doesn't love pizza. I do check beforehand. </p> <p>If it's my mom or MIL, I usually do a crockpot meal, I know they enjoy a nice meal that they don't' have to make themselves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383171 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:35:43 +0000 catlady 2383171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If our babysitter needs to feed LO a meal, we always provide that meal for the babysitter too. We will usually get a bunch of pre-made or easy to assemble things (like stuff for sandwiches) or else leave her some money to order takeout and tell her what to order for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383147 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:23:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2383147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also ask what they drink - out sitter likes sweet tea and we don't drink it so I always buy it just for her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383146 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:23:30 +0000 regberadaisy 2383146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @Mamaof2: yup, I'll let her know/ask of whatever we decide. It'll likely be something takeout since its kinda up in the air right now if we are going. Depends on how DD2 is feeling. :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383140 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:22:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2383140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you just casually say btw is pizza ok for you? She should either say yes, or no thanks I will be bringing my own? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383136 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:20:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2383136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done pizza (ask what she likes on it), tacos, spaghetti and meatballs, grilled cheese and soup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-amp-dinner#post-2383132 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:18:19 +0000 regberadaisy 2383132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're using a babysitter in the evening, and will be asking them to feed your child(ren). Do you provide them with dinner too? What do you typically serve?</p> <p>Using a sitter Friday night and asking her to show up at dinner time. I'm planning to offer her dinner but still undecided on what to get. Leaning towards picking up a pizza on the way home because it's easy!</p> <p>What do you usually do? </p>
