She is wonderful with him, and I love that she is up-to-date with her first aid. It's hard to book her in the summer though, because she goes to her family cabin a lot on the weekends, and is highly in demand as a lifeguard during the week.</p> <p>ETA: our family isn't local, but my parents will babysit when we or they visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-go-to-babysitter-1#post-2675122 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:51:59 +0000 psw27 2675122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our awesome babysitter who we found over 2 years ago when LO was 4 months old. She's a nurse and super sweet. She's hard to book though cause of her crazy schedule. We have a backup sitter too, who we like as well. Our parents live far away, so they do watch him but usually for a weekend so we can get away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-go-to-babysitter-1#post-2675093 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:19:27 +0000 mediagirl 2675093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grandma and Grandpa. </p> <p>.....that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-go-to-babysitter-1#post-2675082 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:14:09 +0000 lioneyes 2675082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>daytime- my parents<br /> nighttime- i have 4 nursing students from the local college who i rotate calling. if they are all busy and it's something i can't reschedule (work event vs. date night) then i will ask my parents, but i feel bad making them sit when DS will just be asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-go-to-babysitter-1#post-2675081 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:13:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2675081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad.

My parents (both together or just my mom. My dad can do one kiddo, but not both).<br /> 2. My cousin, who is studying to be a teacher<br /> 3. A rotating door of current and former employees. I run a business that employs mostly high school and college students. </p> <p>In reality, my parents cover 95% of childcare, so babysitting by others is rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-go-to-babysitter-1#post-2675059 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 08:45:25 +0000 littlebug 2675059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our parents. I vastly prefer my mom and step-dad, but they spend 1/2 the year in Florida, so it defaults to my ILs for most of that time. My dad is also local, but he's not always comfortable watching the 2 kids alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-go-to-babysitter-1#post-2674977 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 00:20:18 +0000 Coffee-lover 2674977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have my mom, and she is not available all the time and can be unreliable. I need to find a babysitter.
