Yes, we are lucky and my oldest is 13 now so we can put the young ones to bed and his sister and him can help if they wake up. My oldest really needs to know we trust him. And since we are a couple miles away, I feel pretty safe with all that. I also wish we had a reagualar baby sitter so we could just call go out for dinner or something like that. We don't call Nana anymore, she is too busy! Have a wonderful day
