I think I was just as nervous the first couple of times I minded a relative’s baby.
Even worse when he crawled across a living area floor when I had to go to the toilet ( or there would have been a mess) and I heard a thud, then crying. He had tried to pull himself up on a rocker and got stuck under it. At first I couldn’t find him so that made it even worse.

It gets easier. The first couple of times are the worst.

It does get easier. Its great youve got a babysitter who you know is responsible and capable. My advice is its natural to worry so dont stress about that. But texting occaisionally is ok i think and may help put you at ease.

I gets easier….with time and practice.

storys are nice

stories are great

It does get easier! I remember how anxious I felt the first time i left my little one.

I still feel nervous anytime I leave my kids but it does get easier. Trust in the person looking after your baby and knowing your baby is happy & safe makes it easier over time.

haha I still feel nervous like this and my Daughter is 3!! I’ve only had her babysat once because I feel so nervous. But she’s starting preschool next year, so I’ll just have to get over it. lol
