For the first time yesterday, we had to leave Dylan with a "stranger" and it was so hard walking away from him. Of course, I called her almost every hour and made Mike call to check in on Dylan. I gave her a list of ALL of our phone numbers, and special instructions - as if she's never taken care of a child before. =)
But it turned out to be a good experience for us. We liked Liliana from the first time we met her and it helped that she was highly recommended by others in the neighborhood. There is also a little baby girl there with him so it at least allows Dylan to socialize a little bit. At the end of the day, we even got a "report" card on Dylan. hahaha Our little spoiled boy wouldn't let her put him down for his naps. According to Liliana, Dylan was happiest when she carried him and cried everytime she put him down. Hopefully she won't quit on us.
But boy, when did babysitting cost so much $$$$? Maybe I'll just stay home and babysit kids in the neighborhood!!!
The good news is that Mike will be starting to work in NJ next month which means we will hopefully just need Liliana once in a while.
