Show Notes

Babysitting is an interesting job because I think most of us have done it and were probably very young the first time. I mean, I remember looking after a family friend’s kids at night… and they would have been about 2 and 5. I was 16. At the time I thought nothing of it… We have had a few babysitters since the boys were born, and from around the 6-week mark with each, because I was back to work quite quickly. They’ve all been lovely but a serious mix in age and experience. Funnily enough though, there has been a point with each of them (regardless of their age or anything else) when I have of course wondered what was going on when I wasn’t there… and I've actually worked myself into such a stress that I’ve contemplated using a hidden camera to check on them. So is that ever okay?
