Where do I find a trusted babysitter?

Thank you so much for your response.

I was looking more for recommendations for different care platforms that are available around me. I can see how my wording might make it seem like I’m looking for a recommended individual in my area. Honestly I wouldn’t feel comfortable or qualified choosing the sitter myself.

It was an evening date and your explanation makes a lot of sense and is not something that I really considered.

The idea of daytimes dates is nice but with both of us being is school it didn’t work with our schedules. As for family friendly dates I’m not opposed but we’re a little too early into dating(only 3 dates) for her to introduce me to her kid, in my opinion at least. I think that’s better saved for after we’re in a relationship for at least a few months and we think it might be going somewhere.

No offense taken. Honestly it was my first thought too but after talking she assured me that she wants to go on more dates but didn’t know when she would be available and didn’t want to keep me waiting around. I’m patient so I don’t mind waiting while she figures things out. Though I agree, she still could just be trying to let me down gently.
