While you are running through some of the “challenges” that they could run into, be sure to practice getting the little one dressed. Getting Dressed | Laying out the clothes they might need is a great tip. Doing this with you around at least once, might make it easier for your sitter. Changing a Diaper | If you remember back to pre-baby, you might remember just how hard it was to change a diaper. I invited my friend over before she was supposed to watch my little one, just to run through some of the difficult tasks. I especially like to do this if the sitter is new to babies or doesn’t have any children.

One of my favorite tips for easing the transition of leaving your baby for the first time is to do trial runs.

You can print your free babysitter guide by clicking on the picture here: Free Babysitter Printable Pack Trial Run With over 8 pages of ideas, you are sure to find something in this free printable. * Foods | It never fails if you have an older child, they will try to sneak sweets in, but if you have a baby, they can’t tell the sitter their favorites and least favorite foods. * Favorite Music | I love this playlist for babies for ideas of calming music. You can check out this list of calming tools to get some ideas to include on your list. * Calming Strategies | There is nothing worse than watching a child that isn’t your own and they are upset. * Favorite books that your little one loves | I love this list of books for babies to get some ideas if you don’t have any favorites

If you are leaving your little ones with someone that does not have children of their own, or it has been a long time since they had littles (like grandparents) they might like the extra ideas.Ī few of the items I like to include are: Most of us think to provide our emergency information to the sitters, but we forget the things that are just natural for us. Write these things down so you can feel like everything is there if your friend or sitter needs it. A week or two before you plan to be gone, start paying attention to the things that are just second nature to you. I’ve made this simple and easy to use “sitter guide” just for you. Get OrganizedĮven though the person you leave your baby with doesn’t need a book to watch your little one, it sure eases your nerves. Am I right? Here are a few tips to ease your nerves. Its not because you don’t trust the person you are leaving your baby with, its just that its not you. The first time you ever leave your baby with someone else can be nerve wracking.
