[quote=Anonymous]Getting an evening babysitter for my 2.5 yr old charge is not working out.  My employers have to do business dinners at least once a week, often more, and my charge just cannot get used to a babysitter.  Even if I stay late and put her to bed, she cries and is anxious about the babysitter staying and me going home when she is asleep.  So I stay.  I have given up on the whole babysitter thing and just stay myself now which makes for way too long days for me - generally 16 hours - and then up again the next morning to start work at 7:30.

We have had babysitters who play with her for hours before bed time, whom she knows, and she still has a heartbroken cry at the thought of me leaving without her Mama and Dad being home.  And this kid is not spoiled at all - she is a really great kid and incredibly well adjusted in every other area - preschool drop off is no problem and she is totally undemanding.   She just wants me, her mother or her father to be with her at bedtime.

I understand it is a phase that will pass someday - but man, I am so tired.  [/quote]
