DNeice is babysitting tomorrow night.

What stuff do you leave out for babysitters- she eats like a horse!!

We'll be giving hr dinner - so was thinking of spag bol - fill her u with carbs.

Its a Sat night - so was thinking of crisps and chocs?

We'll be gone quite late - so she'll prob need a supper before bed - toast and cheese stuff?

my nephew at this age used to like coke, crisps and chocolate.

If you really rhink she'd going to starve, you could always leave a pizza in the fridge that she could cook if she wanted later

I'm just off to Asda - so will get a selection of stuff that will keep - so we can eat it on Sunday if she's not THAT hungry.

I used to eat loads when I was a babysitter... think it was the boredom when they'd all gone to bed!

Biscuits should do it, or just leave some bread so she can make toast, that should be plenty.

I feed my babysitters lots too - they are in short supply round here. Besides, I remember how hungry I used to get when I babysat.

(I did offer to leave a pizza for one recently, only to be told "no thanks, I'll have something healthy before I arrive!!! ")

Spag bol, crisps and chocs sound good to me. Fruit bowl and offer of toast, in case late night hunger sound good too.
