DS loves his teacher from last year and the feeling seems mutual. Our baby sitter is my niece but she just got a new job and her availability is crappy now. Would it b inappropriate to ask the teacher if she would like to baby sit on occasion?

    My first thought is that it would be inappropriate...conflict of interest maybe?

    Yeah that's what I was concerns about. Even though he is no longer in her class he's still at the same school

    Oops, somehow overlooked that it's his teacher from LAST year - might be borderline o.k. in this case...maybe talk to her and get her feelings on it?

    Mmm, I guess I don't really know. At first glance it seems a little inappropriate. If he really loves her though and she'd be willing to babysit then I don't really think there's anything wrong with it. I would just casually bring it up and ask. Worst she could do is say no.

    Most of the teachers at our preschool are moms, but the ones who aren't or have older kids babysit, do you know if she babysits?

    My sister still babysits a boy from her very first year of teaching. He was even the ringbearer at her wedding.

    I would try and feel her out first.  My DD loved her teacher from last year & I know her teacher loved her. Her teacher was an older lady with grandkids & always told me DD reminded her of her own grandchildren.  I had often thought if she would ever consider babysitting once she was no longer in her class. Well she now lives in Belize with her DD so it's a non-issue.  

    Last year at Pre-School orientation the director made the statement "we love your children but don't want t babysit them after hours".  I thought that statement was a bit odd but I guess pre-k teachers get asked all the time & that is why she felt the need to make the blanket statement.

    DDs school actually hands out a list of teachers looking to make extra cash by babysitting.

    You never know until you ask.  Being as it is last years teacher, I don't think it's inappropriate.
