If it's for tomorrow, my mom. No one else is close enough to help. Mom is 3 hours away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059838 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:28:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1059838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I'll be your back up if you'll be mine.<br /> I'm realizing I don't know who I'd call. Maybe one of DH's sisters, but the all travel a lot and have tons going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059811 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:14:34 +0000 Cherrybee 1059811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL or my BFF. My mum would watch her if I was there (say if I wanted to clean the house or take a bath) but she wouldn't have her alone yet. We also have a list of friends who have offered but I wouldn't feel right asking them - perhaps in an emergency! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059794 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 07:57:36 +0000 mrs. wagon 1059794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess our nanny! A few months ago the answer would have been.. No one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059220 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:39:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1059220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059213 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:36:55 +0000 chopsuey 1059213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh's aunt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059133 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:28:17 +0000 californiadreams 1059133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have no family nearby but i have a few friends that I would trust to babysit. I also have a couple of babysitters I pay so I might even call them first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059124 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:23:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1059124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't here until March, but no idea! our family is 3 hours away. If it was an actual emergency I'm sure I'd have a few friends who wouldn't mind.</p> <p>My neighbour asks people last minute ALL THE TIME for non emergencies and it's really turned me off asking other people. She always posts on FB too "can anyone watch L from 8-10 tonight?!" ...like what if some freak says they can? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059121 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:19:14 +0000 luckypenny 1059121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL but only if it was an emergency. They have a super busy social calendar :) we need to find a back up emergency one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059113 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:14:58 +0000 Running Elley 1059113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL!! She's almost never given advance notice when she watches SIL's kids so she's definitely used to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059112 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:13:48 +0000 travelgirl1 1059112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea, we have no family in Canada at all. I would probably ask one of her little friends' mamas as she knows them from playdates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059111 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:13:40 +0000 Mae 1059111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have kids yet but assuming I did, and it was for just a few hours, I have 3 friends in the area I could call. If it was overnight I'd prob run up to my parents house (2 hrs away, but I don't think I'd want to inconvenience friends overnight). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059102 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:07:28 +0000 Andrea 1059102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two sitters to call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059095 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:57:10 +0000 Boheme 1059095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be up a creek, because my mom and sister are 5 or 6 hours away!<br /> I could probably call our nanny though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059088 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:51:58 +0000 hellocupcake 1059088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Husband's aunt, she's a SAHM of a 16yo and 20yo. Whenever LO is over they give her all their attention, plus she lives ten minutes away and is usually home (: MIL is a SAHM but is hardly ever home, my sister would be my first choice but she works full time, and my parents are awesome but live 25 minutes away :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059076 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:43:46 +0000 Smurfette 1059076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents, sister, or some friends </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059074 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:42:26 +0000 Dandelion 1059074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents, DH's parents or my BFF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-needed-a-last-minute-babysitter#post-1059068 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:39:16 +0000 autumnlove 1059068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who would you call?
