rosye13`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll How do all of you mommies feel about daycares and babysitting services at vacation resorts? I`ve never really felt comfortable with it and am looking for others` opinions and experiences :)
(Baby poll by rosye13, 724 days ago)
We use the offered babysitting services at resorts/cruises all the time and love it!
We would never leave our babies with strangers while being far from home!
Have considered it, but feel a little unsure.

jas1987 - I hope you don`t in any way feel that I was judging you by putting up this poll! I really feel that I`m probably a little too on the over protective side and need to learn to let go a little. And I agree that most resorts that offer this have a very qualified staff to handle things. We are actually going on vacation this summer to Orlando and will be staying at a resort that has one, but I just don`t think I`ll be prepared to do it :(

Oh and the service will have qualified staff to look after them it`s not like i would be leaving him with someone who had no idea how to take care of him... I also don`t like other people baby sitting him but he is 15 months so by age 3 i hopefully will get over that...

That was me for baby sitting services on a disney vacation... My son will be 3.5 when we go to disney and we have decided to do disney world in florida for 6 days then do the disney cruise for 7 nights... I have left my son only once and that was at the gym daycare.. This hoilday is for our honeymoon as well... As we are in Australia it`s a long way to go and not to have anytime to ourselves for our honeymoon... Of course we will only put him in the service for a few hours so we can have some adult time...

I would use it in a heartbeat! you don`t have my option but.. if I planned for example a disney vacation and I researched it and felt comfortable using this reputable company and I felt comfortable when I went to drop them off I would use their services without a doubt. I`m not that freaked out about leaving my DD (12months) with strangers, for example I take her to my gym daycare to left her with those stangers...but that`s me :) If you don`t feel comfortable then maybe you shouldn`t do it..don`t feel pressured.

I haven`t and would never use it. My son is attached to us and he`s 5 months and hasn`t even been watched by anyone except us.

I never actually would either. In fact, I don`t even leave my kids with my inlaws, lol. Another poll just kind of peaked my curiosity because the girl was specifically looking for resorts that offered that and I wondered how many people do that. I`m way too overprotective for it :)

I have not and would not use babysitting services if I were on holidays. I am very particular with who has my kids.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
