We had our 1 year old nephew over to babysit him last weekend and that kind of adventure is enough for us. Babysitting can be very tough if you are unaccustomed to children. A one year old can be very tough as they are mobile but not able to communicate very well.

As a parent, you are more used to your own child and can head off the tantrums more easily. If you know what they like and have established methods to deal with bad behavior, the result is a lot more happy playtime than most babysitters generally see.

Oh and with a 1 year old , they might just get bent out of shape simply because their parents are not there. very little you can do
