Also, you should keep in mind that costs can vary significantly depending on the sitter’s experience, location, and what’s required of them. Make sure you have a clear agreement on what’s included.

If you do decide to have a sitter, make sure there’s a designated kid-friendly space where children can feel comfortable. A small room with toys, coloring books, and a few snacks can go a long way in keeping little ones happy. Consider simple activities like a mini photo booth. Not only will the kids have a blast, but you’ll also end up with some adorable photos to remember the precious moments.
Additionally, to help parents feel at ease about the hired caregiver, you can consider providing some background information about them. For instance, if your sitter has an online profile, sharing the link with your guests can give them peace of mind and confidence in your choice.
