I always babysat within walking distance of home, and kids dad always walked me home. Always the dad. I was never afraid of any of them, or nervous about any of them, and nothing ever happened. |
When I babysat in the 90s, it was always Dad who would drive me home. |
Mom or Uber/Lyft |
Their parents. |

My teen DDs babysit only for neighbors and friends who live close by. Either my spouse or I will pick them up. |
My babysitter is a lesbian -- does that change your calculus, OP? Lol |
+1 why are people so paranoid? |
Get a sitter within walking distance. If we are going out ion a (rare) date we want to have a couple of glasses of wine. |
Yep. I am a lightweight who won't drive even after 1 glass, it just doesn't feel safe. |
It was always the dad in my day. We usually do an Uber but we live in the city so its a 5 minute ride. |
Dad does but always runs into late night traffic somehow |
Did any former babysitters have any incidents with Dad? |
Whichever of us was the designated driver for the night, i.e., had just one drink at dinner. |
I don’t understand why this would be an issue unless dad is a creep. |
