In my situation, she can go/be with anyone I deem "appropriate" for up to 24 hours. Which is great, because she can spend the night at a friend's house (when we're ready for that) without all the technicalities. I have a college-aged student (who helped in my classroom several years ago and is going into education) who is going to be a regular babysitter. I think K will do well with her, especially if I present it as "fun time" with the student, not babysitting. Once the school year gets started I'll determine which days, how often, etc. Thanks for reminding me I do need to talk to my friend about longer term respite!
