1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.
