A last minute worry to find someone to watch your children?

Panic onboard, your nanny can't take your little one to the daycare center today, she is sick.   You have to find an emergency babysitter. That's part of the babysitter's role, to step in for just this kind of situation.  

A back-up babysitter for emergencies

This is the case when your child is sick and can not go to day care or nanny with her in this state. It's not always easy to explain to your employer that your baby is teething for the third time this month and you have to stay by his side. Keep cool! Babysitters are used to this kind of situation and will answer quickly to your cries for help. 

And if you just need to get some air?

It's the same thing, you don't necessarily need to explain your reasons to the babysitter who will watch your children while you're away. It will help you out, acting like an extra hand for your family, when you need it. You can get a breath of air at lunch with your childhood friend who you haven't seen for two years and is passing through town, for example.

Take it from Cassie, mommy blogger from Two in Diapers:

I have definitely struggled with my guilty moments for the time I spend working out and the babysitters required during those hours, but in the end I know how incredibly healthy it is for me, both physically and mentally, and how healthy it is for my children to see me doing something good for myself. After a workout, I am ALWAYS energized, happy and SO ready to be back home with my family.
