I wouldn't leave an older kid by a stranger either.
This is different than having a 'strange to the kids' babysitter overnight in your own home & all the kids are on schedule & together (which I still haven't done but have heard of).

How is sending to a sitter overnight, so different sending to a sitter for the day?

Good point. We should make sure to take breaks so we shouldn't reach the point of it being an emergency.

The only situation I could possibly think of that would warrant this is G-d forbid a death. Even if I suddenly went into labor, I would prefer that my husband not come with me and stay with my child rather than leave him with someone he doesn’t know.

When you are talking about someone they dont know what does that mean?
As in youve got no idea who they are, never seen them/met them?
Or just never left there before?
Whetever I would leave my child I would get to know the person first and get references etc.
Dont know if I would take my child there first but I wouldnt call it a stranger if Iv found out everything.

I have left my toddler overnight, but by her babysitter that she went to every day that she knew and loved and that I trusted. I would never by a stranger that the kid never met before though that it traumatizing.
