We did not leave Spencer with a sitter until he was over 6 months old. We have left him several times in the past 2 months now. I even left both boys overnight with my mom! It was so hard at the beginning. My husband had to drag my out of the house and I would almost have a panic attack in the car. But, I made myself do it. It gets better. I promise! Can you maybe call the service and find a person or two? Ask them to come a couple times when you are home. That way you can get to know the person and get a better feel for them. (Plus you could clean house or do laundry, too!) Once you feel more comfortable, it will get easier.

Our favorite sitter we have found is actually a ninth grade neighbor. The boys love her, she is not afraid to get down on the floor and be silly, and she is available a lot. It is a win-win for us!
