I have never used a babysitter before, my toddler (1yrs old)has always been with me.I have someone who watches children in her home 2 to be exact,around the same age as my toddler. should I let her go there for the first time TOMORROW (she will be the steady babysitter starting next week anyway 2days a week)or get a babysitter to come in my home to watch her until I get back. I would be gone for about 5hrs.also she nurses (before a nap,which I could do before I go and leave a "bottle" for her) doesnt' take a bottle,or pacifier. she drinks from a reg cup or a sport bottle. she has a steady nap schedule so she would just wake up when I get ready to leave and take another nap while I am gone.OR take her with me,(I would probably be the only mother with her baby and probably wouldn't get a chance to enjoy the programthat I helped organize).I could find a babysitter close by so if she needs me I could come to her(this is probably a little difficult because I dont know anyone, I would have to go on word of mouth).
any suggestions??

I took mykids out, I didn't want any monkey business at home, and it was cheaper too.

wouldn't you stay with her a bit for the first day, or would that not be possible with your schedule?
does she know the house she would be going to, is she familiar with it?
does she know the babysitter and other children at all?

embarrassedI was going to stay a little while for at least an hour and no she doesnt' know them embarrassed maybe I should just forget about it, Crying I need advice if not tomorrow how should I go about it? I could ask my 20yr old to not go to ulpan for the 2nd half to be here to watch the baby.

I don't know, I was under the impression that the mothers usually stay with the child a bit to get them comfortable in their new surroundings.

hmmm I could go earlier and stay for a couple of hrs then leave???but that is at the beginning of her nap time, she is a very social baby,she gets sooo excited when she sees another toddler,today I had a bday party for her and had maybe 5 kids with parents here and she didnt come to me at all! she played and walked and "talked".maybe I should just take her with me with a mothers helper.

From my experience baby forgets about sleep when there is fun going on. But it's her first daY so depending how you think she will be in her new surroundings . You don't want her to go through 2 stresses at the same time. But what would you do the rest of the year /. Or is it differrent hours. I would take baby along but that's me. I can't detach from him yet. Smile
