Hi,
I had to leave my boys with a 'stranger' babysitter when they got to tired at our wedding reception, we had married away and all friends and family were at the reception, we got someone recommended highly by the hotel, I spoke with her on the phone and we chatted and I felt really comfortable with her. There were no problems and she was great.

Go with recommendations from the hotel they will have used these people before, ask how often they use the child care provider, how long have they used them, talk to them on the phone, or a few in the weeks before you get there to see how you feel about them, pick one and make sure they arrive early enough to spend time with you and your child so she has time to get used to her, bubs at this age can be funny with strangers, and if you are coming back to check on her a lot make sure DD doesn't see you, it might distress her you coming and going all the time which will distress you, but you can expect tears when you first leave, don't draw it out, just go she will settle quickly and be having a great time playing with a new friend!!

Don't feel bad, having time for you and hubby makes you both better parents and is good for your marriage.
