I sometimes have to leave Kelsey alone while I'm working...but often have my boyfriend to help me out with her. I wouldn't give your baby toys that she can hurt herself with. Like squeaky toys or ones with eyes and noses she can rip off and choke on since she'll be left alone for a while without supervision. I reccommend taking her potty right before you leave and right when you return. And give her extra love when your home to let her know how much you care for her. Good luck.
