driving with baby
so I finally met with the babysitter i've been drooling over and she is fantastic!
the only thing she said that gives me pause is that on Friday's they drive to the library. Its not that far of a drive, but someone driving my baby around gives me anxiety.
she is licensed and insured and has all of her state certifications and my friend that takes her son there has never had any issues.
what are your thoughts on this? I feel like she's safe, its just knowing Bear would be on the road at all that gives me anxiety. what the heck am I going to do when he's really here if i'm already having anxiety!!

I could probably work from home on Friday's but she doesn't offer a 4 day a week rate, so i'd have to pay for her to watch him 5 days a week. unless maybe she'd be willing to work with me on this one.
I think I may need to talk about this a bit more with Ben and see what we can come up with.

yes and thats actually one of the reasons I like her as a sitter! the kids won't be stuck in the house and will get to explore and learn.
i'm feeling conflicted about this one thing!
my sister watches kids (in another state) and she drives them places and that seems okay to me. maybe i'm just being a nervous nelly.

B is at a center. I am looking at switching for a variety of reasons but one is that I don't love little he gets to go outside. He only leaves DC if enough babies are cooperating, nobody has a melt down/poopy diaper before they get out the door, and the weather is absolutely perfect.I would love to send him where he could go to the playground and swing, go to the library, take a trip to the children's museum, etc.
You are going to be entrusting this person with the feeding, sleeping, diapering, nurturing, teaching and caring for Bear. If you trust this person to do all of those things, you can trust them to drive your child and take the care with driving him that she takes with feeding him.
I would be a total nervous nelly too. I think it is natural. But if she is the perfect person to watch Bear, then I think she'll be the perfect person to drive him on adventures too.

thank you everyone for the suggestions and the reassurance!
I guess I need to look into getting another carseat base for her car?

Also if you'd prefer her to have a base, I would just give her the one out of my car when I dropped him off that one day. It's not a big deal to have to remove the base once a week.

are they difficult to reinstall though at the end of the day?

No the bases aren't too bad to install, especially if you have a latch system.
