My husband and I have a 12-year old foster son who is very sweet, and generally well-behaved - especially for babysitters. He’s almost ready to go unsupervised but we need occasional babysitters for evening and weekend events.
Our sitter will generally help with dinner and bedtime routine but our child is usually self-sufficient with bed time routines so it’s mostly just reminding him that it’s time to brush teeth and get ready for bed.
We live near the zoo.
