Maybe I just mention the last time she went potty. </p> <p>With my parents I leave detailed instructions bc they like to know what to do. I even leave a detailed menu for the day so they aren't lost on what to feed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-special-instructionstips-do-you-leave-for-your-sitters#post-1852914 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:58:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1852914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom usually babysits for us, so no instructions for her.</p> <p>ILs babysat for the first time, so we just gave them usual times of when he eats dinner and bedtime, etc.</p> <p>We have a date night in a few weeks with sitters (non family) and we'll probably tell him the same thing that we told in-laws! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-special-instructionstips-do-you-leave-for-your-sitters#post-1852903 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:46:08 +0000 autumnlove 1852903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just used a non family member sitter for the first time and it went great! </p> <p>I didn't leave a lot of instructions for play or dinner but I left some tips for bedtime!</p> <p>LO 1- wants a Zoli cup of water before bed, purple toothbrush with bubble gum toothpaste, no ceiling fan and she wants to be tucked in with her AA blanket.</p> <p>LO 2- brush with strawberry toothpaste, ceiling fan, and hold her after changing her into PJs...you can put her down as soon as she starts sucking her thumb. </p>
