Maybe try rewarding her. If she goes a day without accident home or at the sitters make a chart and give her a smily face. If she gets like 4 smiley faces let her go to a store and pick out a toy. It worked for my daughter. Good luck

As Aristotle said, the decision rests with perception. What is happening? Is the sitters situation more structured? (does the sitter put her on the pot at set times?) Does the sitter reward "good" behavior? And on the other side.... are you too busy with other things, and she has to get your attention? Are you (in her eyes) too strict and so she is getting back at you? Is the "accident" on purpose? Is it intentional disobedience? Depending on the "cause" the approach will be very different. If you do not like what your child is doing, change what YOU are doing. To the child, their response makes sense in the context of their world. Change their world,and their response will change. (then decide which you like better.)

my little girl is 2 yrs, 9 months and it is the same way. No accidents at the sitter, but at home she is still wetting her pull-ups, but for the most part will go potty for #2. I think it is just that she feels more comfortable at home, not sure.

You gotta know exactly how sitter handles it, and follow that routine at home..we found that we had potty too far away from our toddler, and were using a different reward. Also, our sitter takes kids to potty every time they eat or drink(like within 5 minutes!)....and periodically. Good Luck!

Children who do this are trying to get attention from there parents because they are at the sitter's all day. I would give her lots of attention (other than the bathroom time) and make sure to let her know that it is unacceptable to go in her undies.Keep her in undies all the time, that way she will get tried of the feeling of her pants being wet. She will stop just give it time.

Just have to keep being persistence, maybe give her a reward of some sorts when she uses the potty at home.

My daughter did it until she was four and I had a terrible fit of telling her that was it and it was a control issue. To this day she does not know why kept dry for everyone else and not at home and at night...I left her in the peed undies, had her change her sheet...etc. All that my brother did was take her out and when she failed to tell him she had to go he came home and put her in the corner; back to town and she told him! She wants you home. I loved my daughter so much I left her do it until age four...

Talk to the sitter and see what she does that you dont. If dry all day there she must be doing something different.

this may sound harsh but maybe it's you. If you've been impatient with her in the past with the potty training she may be reluctant to tell you when she has to go.

BE CONSISTANT W/ HER. GET A ROUTINE DOWN, TAKE HER EVERY 30 MIN TO THE BATHROOM, EVEN IF SHE DOSEN'T HAVE TO GO IT WILL TRAIN HER TO KNOW WHEN SHE DOES HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM. IT WILL TOUGH AND SHE WILL FIGHT IT, BUT BE TOUGH AND REMEMBER YOUR THE PARENT. IT WILL ALL BE WORHT IT IN THE END.
GOOD LUCK
