1st time leaving DD w/ a sitter tomorrow : (

...and I'll admit, I'm a little nervous.  It will be for about 3.5 hours tomorrow evening.  The lady (whom Greta already loves and we trust her completely) will have to give her dinner and put her to bed.  She's actually going to be with a sitter (either this lady or my Mom) over the next week and a half i the evenings. I have a show coming up and next week is production week.

*sigh*  I know everything will be fine, but I am still nervous.  I keep such a routine with her (at bedtime, particularly) that I'm scared any deviation in it will mess her all up. 

*Scuzzlebutt*

I was terrified when we left Clara for the first time with the ILs (she'd only been with my parents before that)  Especially at bedtime - I totally understand about the routine and the fear of messing it all up!  But she was just fine   It IS scary though.  I'm sure Greta will have fun.

I'm afraid to unleash DS's crazy sleeping on anyone, hence our inability to go out after dark, ha ha ha. But seriously, I've babysat my nieces and nephews before at that age, and they've always been good about having someone else run their routines.

If you weren't nervous that wouldn't be normal. I had a teacher from daycare watch my son two times since he's been born. Once to go out to dinner for my bday (so a whole whopping 2.5 hours) and the other time for a Christmas party. Each time I came home he was happily alseep and the sitter was chilling, watching a movie. Yet, I'm still nervous.

As long as your sitter tries to do things similar to your routine I'm sure she'll be fine.

Good luck on your show!
