More Than a Date Night – Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Babysitter

Most parents think of babysitters as a solution for the occasional date night. But what if they could be your secret weapon for everyday household support?

In this episode, Laura and Alex Wilson go beyond the basics and explore how to truly maximize the value of a babysitter. From covering the 3-5 PM after-school gap to lending a hand during evening routines or chaotic weekends, babysitters can be much more than short-term child supervision.

You'll learn:

• The real difference between babysitters and nannies
• Smart ways to use a babysitter for school pickups, homework help, or bedtime support
• Creative ways to incentivize your babysitter to go above and beyond
• How the Wilsons use Friday night sitters—even when they don’t go out

Tune in and rethink how your family could benefit from this underused household resource.
