We don't have family here, but our friends here want to watch our son so we can have a date night. I trust them, but anyone else? Not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-191755 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:39:55 +0000 Honeybee 191755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left DD for the first time when she was 6 weeks... and then not again until she was 1.5. :) Try it out; if you don't feel comfortable, you can always cut dinner short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-191532 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 12:45:34 +0000 heffalump 191532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 1/2 months and has never been with anyone but her grandparents. I think it will stay that way for a while. She has stranger anxiety so I want to wait until she's better with people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-191130 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:03:24 +0000 looch 191130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a sitter that's been coming for just over a year now, so I think my son was about 6 months old. She comes once a week for half a day and we found her through an agency. Love her, DS has a great time with her and I get a much needed break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-191052 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 08:13:29 +0000 Rock n Roll 191052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids is two and a half and has never been left with someone who isn't family. Well, she's been in the nursery at church, if that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-191037 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 08:04:28 +0000 BananaPancakes 191037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have tons of family around...I doubt he'll ever be left with anyone but Grandmas/ grandpas and aunts/uncles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-191001 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:40:47 +0000 Andrea 191001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yeah, we don't have family around either so we just about never go out but DH had to go his work party. I still don't like leaving DD with a sitter and she is 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-190999 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:39:17 +0000 regberadaisy 190999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: haha that's my fear that I won't be ready for a looong time. Unfortunately we have no immediate family in town. Just cousins from my husband's side.</p> <p>@Andrea: Def already thinking how we're going to swing that one! Albeit we might already be out of town if we got visit the in laws. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-190996 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:37:13 +0000 Andrea 190996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we had a date night when she was about 7 months. We went to DH's work Xmas party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-190989 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:33:56 +0000 LivsMama 190989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liv is almost 11 months old and shes never been with anyone except my sister or our nanny. Im not there yet lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-left-himher-wa-sitter-for-the-first-time#post-190978 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:25:00 +0000 regberadaisy 190978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering how old your LO was the first time you left her with a a babysitter? Someone other than grandparents and aunts/uncles! :)</p> <p>We're hoping to have a nice dinner out just the two of us before my mom goes home. But after that not sure when we'll feel comfortable leaving her with a sitter for a date night! His cousin's daughter (she's 20) has been working at a daycare for years. So I would probably ask her if and when we do.</p> <p>How old was your LO when you left him/her with a sitter for the first time? Who was the sitter? </p>
