Even when you know they’re in capable hands, it’s natural to wonder what will happen once you walk out the door. Will they become upset? Will they eat their dinner? Will bedtime go completely out the window the moment you leave?
Babysitting usually involves all the familiar parts of your child’s routine, just with another trusted grown up there to take care of them.
Once you’ve said goodbye
Some littlie’s wave happily and immediately begin playing. Others need a little extra reassurance after Mum or Dad leaves.
Your babysitter will help your littlie settle in a way that suits their age and personality. That could mean reading a favourite book, starting a game, putting on some music or just giving them time to become comfortable.
Quite often, the littlie who was clinging to your leg at the door is happily playing within minutes. Naturally, they may forget to mention this when you call to check.
Their usual routine continues
Before you leave, you can talk your babysitter through meals, bath time, bedtime and anything else they need to know.
The afternoon/night might include serving dinner, playing games, reading stories, changing nappies and helping everyone get ready for bed. Your sitter will follow your instructions and keep things as familiar as possible for your littlies.
If something important comes up, they can contact you. You can relax knowing that you’re still reachable without needing to spend the entire evening staring at your phone.
You’ll receive a few updates
Coastal Babysitters can send a few photos during the booking so you can see how everyone is getting on.
The aim isn’t to provide a minute by minute documentary, just a couple of reassuring updates showing that your littlie is settled, safe and hopefully far too busy having fun to wonder what you’re doing.
The “While You Were Out” report
When you return, your babysitter will complete a ‘While You Were Out’ sheet.
It records helpful details such as:
– What your littlie ate
– What they played
– Nappy changes
– Bedtime information
– Anything else you may need to know
You won’t have to rely on a sleepy conversation at the front door while trying to remember everything. You’ll have a clear summary of how the booking went, and possibly photographic evidence that your littlie really can go to bed without requesting seventeen additional glasses of water.
Leaving your littlie with someone new may feel daunting, but knowing what to expect can make that first booking much easier.
Coastal Babysitters provides trusted, caring support so parents can head out knowing their littlie’s are being well looked after.
Book a Coastal Babysitter and enjoy your time out with a little extra peace of mind.
