we are wanting to switch babysitters and I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to tell the current sitter that we are going to a new sitter. she is a friend of the family, but she just has too many kids and we know he'll get more attention at the new sitter's. anyone gone through this?

Just tell her you won't be needing a babysitter anymore. If she wants you to go into detail just say a family member is going to do it for free.. š

I would just be honest with her, let her know it's nothing against her you guys would just rather have a sitter who can give more individualized attention to your LO

Just be truthful, but do it in the nicest way possible. If she's a family friend you want to keep a good relationship with her.

Give her two weeks notice since that's the professional standard. But if she asks why you're leaving, be honest. If she's a family friend, she will find out anyway. Just say you guys feel like your LO needs a little more one-on-one attention or a smaller class. She will know what you mean without it being offensive.

Lol I honestly would lie to her. I would tell her my job is changing and I'll be home at that time. Or my husband will be home. Or I'm moving š But I like the other ladies idea too. Being honest is always good.
