[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not have her come over for "coffee" and get to know her? [/quote] On one hand I think people need to trust their gut, on the other hand I totally agree with this poster. You might be glad to have someone close by you can call when you need a nap, shower, go for a walk alone, a Christmas party or if an emergency comes up and you need to go someplace not kid friendly. It can't hurt. I'd probably offer something similar to a neighbor simply because I like kids and I like helping people out. Nothing creepy about it. But if you are really dead set against getting to know her a little and making an informed decision about leaving your baby with her, then do what another PP said and just say you'll keep her offer in mind and let her know if something comes up where you need a sitter.
