I have found letting a sitter/my Mom/my Dad do their own thing works fine; with them only. I gave a loose framework of what we did so they could hit the major points and left them to figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1948374 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:34:15 +0000 mamimami 1948374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do everything differently with the sitter. But we are OK with that. We let her do her thing as she is their nanny almost every day so she knows them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1948370 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:29:04 +0000 Smurfette 1948370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same routine, minus bath, if they dont want to do it. But R is easy and she would be fine if it was different. She went to bed easier for my parents when they watched her overnight then she does for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1948347 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:07:17 +0000 winniebee 1948347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually read books in our bed too. I think if we have a non family sitter I'd ask her to read in his room and bed T would be ok with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1948319 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:49:12 +0000 Andrea 1948319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a babysitter do bedtime yet, but my mom has done it and I didn't ask her to change anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1948152 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 18:18:12 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1948152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I've babysat, I've definitely had parents tell me that X part of their routine happens in the master bathroom or bedroom and I've never had a problem with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1947975 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:43:55 +0000 Mamaof2 1947975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to do bedtime (books) in our bed and so when the babysitter came I told her if she was ok sitting in our bed to please keep the routine - she did and bedtime went smoothly! I don't mess with a good thing :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitters-handling-bedtime#post-1947948 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:31:11 +0000 mediagirl 1947948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you change anything for bedtime when it comes to babysitters?</p> <p>Our bedtime routine for our lo includes time in our bedroom. She uses our toilet for potty and tooth brushing, and we all climb onto our bed to read books before we go to her room and sing. Do we just tell the babysitter to use our bathroom for the hygiene things and then tell her to read and sing in lo's bedroom? Or should we take the potty and toothbrush stuff downstairs and ask her to use that bathroom? I'm afraid that will throw our lo off...she's a routine junkie. </p>
