I know a mrs kornitzer and if she's the one who babysits I may possibly use her.

I used mrs Newman many times. Sometimes I was happy, sometimes not so.
However, what you said about clothing is Motzei Shem Rav and I want to clear it up. She uses her own clothes.
She specifically tells mothers NOT to send along anything and she uses her own pjs,pants, etc. she the. Dresses your baby back into the outfit he came with.
Anyway, she's a special woman, I love her, and think the world of her, but OP, I don't recommend you to leave your baby there for a week.

If you look in the phone book there are some babysitters that specialize in babys, small babys that wake up inmiddle the night. Look into that.
Hatzlucha!

She was great at first. As the years went by and I left my other babies by her, I found her patience dwindling... Then I left her.

Sometimes, one doesn't have siblings or (able bodied) parents.
But starved? this is not possible.

Op I'm sorry u are going through whatever u are going through. I hope it all gets better fast. So u can take care of your baby like I'm sure you want. I did have a friend who wanted to go to Hawaii for a week with her hubby. She had a baby nurse every night and a regular babysitter during the day. Good luck

That is so strange. So strange, that maybe even not true - ie, this is what she tells you, but she doesn't really change the clothing, perhaps? I always hate when babysitters don't let me come in, or keep me at the door for 5+ minutes - a red flag right there.
OP - I'm going to second the call of other posters who urge you to try to be creative with this and think of a way to take your baby along, ie, hire someone to go with you. Obviously we don't know your situation, but could be there's a creative solution you just haven't thought of yet. Much hatzlacha.

OP, hugs and hatzlacha. I'm going to confess that I skipped p. 2 but I have to wonder - and feel free not to answer! - if there is some medical or personal situation going on, are you getting IRL support, and would these people have any suggestions?

Why is this so strange?? I straightaway thought it makes sense- she'd rather the kid dirty her own clothes that she can wash without worrying about ruining and be able to bring the kid back to the parent in nice clean clothes which the kid had been sent in......

Exactly.
Plus, she doesn't have to remember which clothing belongs to which child after the wash.
