Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I've been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

Ooooh, really good point on the camera. I'll be the best babysitter ever if I can get those first steps on camera.

And you're fully right on it being totally different. Months ago I babysat her but she couldn't really move around on her own so while a bit scary wasn't "be in your guard for escape attempts" daunting.

I'm excited though!

Consider mom and dad want to be there for first steps and might be happier if you kept quiet, lol

Best baby sitter ever probably does not film and never mentions any unassisted steps happened. Mom and Dad have been slaves to this kid for over a year and deserve to be there for first milestones (or at least believe they were there). Best babysitter swoops in and picks up the kid to prevent actual first steps so that way they don't happen and no one has to lie
