Adventures in babysitting

We left Isabel at home with a sitter for the first time last week. We only did it for a couple of hours for a trial run while we went to the fencing center. She has stayed with Opa and Grandma several times, spending a morning, an afternoon, overnight.

The babysitter is a college sophomore recommended by one of the fencing center families. She worked with the mother at a child development center the past three or four summers. She's stylish, sweet, and seemingly very enthusiastic and trustworthy. Something has to be wrong. I'm wondering if she has multiple personalities, like Dana Carvey's character in the film "Moving" with Richard Pryor. He's hired to drive the Saab cross country to Idaho. He shows up looking like this preppy, if a bit nerdy guy. The car arrives in Boise covered in graffiti, with doors and key parts missing, etc.

But, so far, so good with the babysitter. Isabel was in one piece, contently sleeping when we got home.
