The poor baby got sick so I won't even have to worry about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitter-wants-to-bring-her-niece#post-1146119 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:39:47 +0000 BananaPancakes 1146119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually don't think I'd mind. Especially since she works at a daycare and therefore has experience with multiple children. But if you're uncomfortable, then say no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitter-wants-to-bring-her-niece#post-1146112 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:34:54 +0000 shinymama 1146112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if her niece was a little older I would be OK with it {kind of like a playmate for your DS} but at 5 months she might require so much attention that it might detract from your son's care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitter-wants-to-bring-her-niece#post-1146087 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:14:09 +0000 Smurfette 1146087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: I agree with everything you said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitter-wants-to-bring-her-niece#post-1146083 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:13:06 +0000 mrsbookworm 1146083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would tell her that since it's the first time she's watching LO at your house, you'd rather she come alone. You can totally blame it on the baby. Just say you're not sure how he'll do with a new person being home with him and another child might just make it more difficult... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitter-wants-to-bring-her-niece#post-1146081 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:10:14 +0000 MamaBehr 1146081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that's tough. Realistic, I would probably say "sure" but actually be upset. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitter-wants-to-bring-her-niece#post-1146039 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:27:24 +0000 matador84 1146039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A sitter is watching ds tomorrow for a couple hours. She works at his daycare and I like her and its her first time watching him at our house. She just asked me if she could bring her 5 month old niece. Not sure if I should say yes and just be like whatever because I don't want to put her out or no because I'm paying her to watch my child and I don't know this baby at all. What would you do? </p>
