So far only my MIL and my parents have watched LO when we go out of town or just out to dinner for date night.
Who are your babysitters?

NO babysitters for us, yet. If hubs and I DO need to go out, it's always after LO goes to bed and we would have mom or MIL to come stay at the house.

We don't have one. Our parents come a few times a year so we have a date night then.

My neighbour when she's home from university, My kids adore her (so do I, we're good friends) and she works for random presents. When she's at school, our pastor's daughter babysits, which is lovely because she's about 20 and still happy to babysit. Not that we get out more then every couple months, but it's sure nice to see a movie out and eat at a pub for a change.

My parents and in laws. We have more family here, my brother and SIL..... but LO still has stranger anxiety and so far will only go to her grandparents.

Daycare is a family friends SAHM with a 4 year old. Her older (14 years old) daughter watches him when we go out. Typically with her 14 year old cousin. If anything happens they have both moms 5 minutes away. I have another 17 year old on tap if I need to and a friend (27 years old) but she is often too expensive. Occasionally our friends with kids will watch him but he is kinda difficult.

My parents, grandparents, and 2 aunts watched LO when he was younger and we lived close to them. We live almost 1000 miles away from them now and haven't had a baby sitter here.

We've never really left the girls (like less than 5 times and none since Maisie was born). I just worked really hard to hire a nanny, but now she's out of town for a couple of weeks... (after we just agreed that she was starting Monday), so I'm not sure how it's all going to work out!

@Mrs. Jacks: Ditto. We've left DD a total of 5 times including the days we were in the hospital having DS, and twice was with my mom and once was with my FIL. We have yet to leave them since DS was born.
The two times we've had a babysitter, it was a highschool girl who works at DD's daycare. We put DD to bed, and left after she was asleep.
