[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. What does a trial run entail?[/quote] NP. I usually have a new sitter come for an afternoon for 2-3 hours on a weekend. Low stakes, everyone gets to meet and hang out, get a little familiar, before the sitter comes and we are out for the night. Our kids are older (4 and 7) but having someone else do bedtime and the idea of not seeing us until tomorrow is kind of a big deal. It goes much more smoothly if they’ve had a chance to meet and play first. I usually schedule a trial run a week or so before the event I need the sitter for - I schedule both the trial run and the even at the same time. I’ve had a couple of non-preferred sitters but never someone who it didn’t work out for them to sit for the scheduled event. [/quote]
