One off day/night Nanny advice

We're getting married and it looks like we might need a nanny to put our little fellow to bed at about 7ish and possibly stay over night. He will be about 17 months.


Is a one-off nanny experience going to throw him?


Or should I just acknowledge that we can't go anywhere (we're going out for dinner) until we get him to sleep, which will mean probably getting to any dinner venue for 830 and not 730, so not a massive disaster.


I would prefer if someone else put him to bed, just because then he's not entirely flummoxed if said someone comforts him in the night, but is it too much for a little one?

Hi - could you get them to come and babysit for an evening before and do bedtime with you? I was so worried the first time I had someone other than family put my son to bed but he was fine with it. My babysitter used to work at his nursery so he did know her. She might be interested in a stay over job. She's a full time nanny now. Let me know if you want me to ask her.

I agree, get the person over to meet you and your child first,a few times even, at informal interview and when you go out locally...

It can be pretty daunting for both child and grown up if child wakes up to complete stranger and gets upset....

Can you get someone in to babysit and then member of family to stop over when all the celebrations are done???


Hope you sort something out, and try not to stress too much, site you have enough to be doing with a wedding.

Ok - I have to admit, before people feel sorry for me, that we're taking the cowards way out. Off out to dinner with family after The Event in a registry office we haven't quite decided on yet, so it requires minimal organisation.


Thanks for the advice! Really appreciated

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.

      The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
