I'd definitely pick something up for a non-family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170663 Thu, 07 May 2015 12:41:18 +0000 chopsuey 2170663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170647 Thu, 07 May 2015 12:34:43 +0000 LindsayInNY 2170647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I babysat, the parents sometimes would order pizza or something otherwise I was told to help myself - and I would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170536 Thu, 07 May 2015 11:49:17 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2170536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever I have babysat, the parents have offered up the ability to eat anything that I find in the house. So I will either eat what the kids are eating or find something in the fridge or cabinet to snack on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170275 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:41:52 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2170275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a sitter and nanny and I was always fed when I worked during dinner time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170270 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:40:59 +0000 Ginabean3 2170270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I always say help yourself to whatever we have! I figure if they are agreeing to babysit during a meal time then they should figure out their meal situation... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170219 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:21:50 +0000 bpcmarj 2170219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have only had her come over once, and it was a little late so she said she had already ate. The next time we have her come it will be earlier and I told her that I would get a pizza for the two of them to have together :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2170002 Thu, 07 May 2015 08:08:08 +0000 Mama Bird 2170002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only sitter we ever had would never eat anything at our house, even though I offered... not sure why, but it looks like a lot of sitters don't like to do that? She usually took B to her place for part of the day, or sometimes brought her own lunch.</p> <p>Oddly, if my mom babysits B, she also won't eat anything, even though she has no problem sitting us down to dinner when we visit her. Maybe he just keeps her too busy to sit down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169982 Thu, 07 May 2015 08:01:15 +0000 autumnlove 2169982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169980 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:59:33 +0000 Peasinapod 2169980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've babysat my niece at mealtime before and my sister did not leave food for me... Probably because we're family though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169945 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:30:09 +0000 yellowbird 2169945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a sitter, but if we did and they were covering mealtime I def would. Also, if it wasn't mealtime, i'd leave snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169909 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:06:37 +0000 Mamaof2 2169909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually make dinner for the kids right when the sitter is arriving and tell her to help herself - I have no idea if she actually eats or not</p> <p>I also tell her to help herself to any food/drinks we have</p> <p>eta: Also I know she drink sweet tea and we don't drink it so I always buy it for her when she is coming over to watch the kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169903 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:00:27 +0000 travellingbee 2169903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have offered by none have ever eaten any! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169902 Thu, 07 May 2015 06:59:17 +0000 sera_87 2169902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always say help yourself to whatever we've got. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169899 Thu, 07 May 2015 06:55:15 +0000 Pancakes 2169899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169897 Thu, 07 May 2015 06:52:48 +0000 lady grey 2169897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-sitter#post-2169879 Thu, 07 May 2015 06:33:18 +0000 blackbird 2169879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've ordered pizza before, but our sitter usually brings her own food over.
