Occasionally our parents will drive up (1.5 hours away) and we'll go out while they watch them. Besides our babysitter, who is experienced in handling multiple kids at once, we always have two people watching them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112542 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 07:31:43 +0000 Caly 2112542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad. He comes at least once a week to give DH a break, go to dr's appts, do yard work or just rest. He's also a text away if we need someone which is awesome &amp; the girls absolutely love him. Next would be my mom...she works so is more avail on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112527 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 07:17:02 +0000 Dandelion 2112527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is my first go to.

But only a few times since she lives 3 hours away. </p> <p>We hired a sitter to sit at the house while he slept once too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112468 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 05:34:39 +0000 yin 2112468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister babysits the most often, and she also lives with us. It's easy to leave the house after the kids go down.

They live close to us, and are typically available when we need them. I thought about finding a babysitter as a backup, but it's so hard to trust a stranger with my child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112336 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 21:02:35 +0000 MrsStar 2112336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is the only one that has babysat (I think 4-5 times total) I don't trust dh's parents to babysit. I'm hoping my bff will be babysitting when I have this LO though since my mom will be with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112335 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 21:01:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2112335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are basically our only sitters.

It's maybe happened four times in their 10 months? Most of those I put them to bed and DH and I went out. So ILs were just there in case they woke up early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112318 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:41:05 +0000 Jess1483 2112318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents. Mostly my mom, but he spends the night with both of my parents often. That's pretty much it. I had a close friend who watched him a few times, but she moved. I have some employees I ask when I'm in a pinch (just because I hate to cross professional/personal lines), but for the most part, my parents or other Mama friends have been able to take care of everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112311 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:37:08 +0000 fancyfunction 2112311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say it's an even split between my parents and MIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112310 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:36:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 2112310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ILs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112308 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:33:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 2112308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL does it most, LO loves staying there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112280 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:05:11 +0000 Mae 2112280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is generally our only babysitter. We've left her for very short periods of time with my dad, MIL, and a friend-- but for more than an hour it's only been my mom. Although I would definitely leave her with more people now... just haven't really needed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-babysits-your-lo-the-most#post-2112266 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 19:55:31 +0000 Bao 2112266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom watches my girls the most out of anyone. We've had some not so good experiences with regular sitters that weren't family, but it's also nice my mom works from home and can watch them last minute pretty much all of the time. I trust her 110% so she is my go-to! My sister and BFF babysit once in a while but not nearly as often as my mom. Plus my girls are very comfortable at my parents house and love to go there, I'm pretty sure they get more treats than I prefer, but hey it's free ;)</p> <p>Who babysits your LO the most? Does your LO have a preferred babysitter? </p>
