I have a new babysitter who watches my 14 month old at home while I work. She is great and he loves her. But the play is quite boisterous. I can hear them doing tickle games and whooshing him round while he giggles. Which is all nice, but it hypes him up. While it's ok at 14 months. She will hopefully be my babysitter for a while and as they get closer to 2 you don't want them being hyped up unnecessarily. She doesn't have kids of her own. And I think she doesn't maybe realise this finer point of childcare.
Do you think Iabu? Should I just relax and like the fact she is good with him? And hope her play quietens down once she gets to know him better.
My own mum is a childminder and ex teacher and she has a lovely quiet way with children where she observes and talks to them but takes their lead. And sometimes just let's them play themselves. But it's difficult to explain what I mean. And I don't want to offend her as she is lovely.

AIBU?
Wibu to ask my babysitter to play more quietly or even just watch my child? And how do I phrase nicely.
