Its scary at first, but craigslist usually has nannies and families looking for the right person. You can do a more extensive interview once you find someone you like to make yourself feel better about finding someone over the internet. (I've been a nanny for two different families that found me on there.) just a suggestion. i hope a good week follows. Love, amanda hello. i wanted to let you and charlie know how much i LOVE reading your updates, so thanks for the insight into your life.

I'm glad you've partnered up with an advocate, I hope that advocate hasn't just "passed the buck". Wish I could step in and help with your precious Laelia. I will be doing the Children's Hospital Speciality Crawl (funny I used to do pub crawls and look at me now)...from ENT to Pulmonology and who knows perhaps Radiology (for good measure) or the Med/Surg floor?? tomorrow as Emma has contracted Croup..(in the middle of the summer..who knew??) and another possible sinus infection. I will try to call during my marathon...hang in there! Sounds like we need to connect, even if over the phone Kristin Alexis…first of all huge huge hug from me…I feel your frustration, deep in the pit of my insides.

I currently have no job - school is my job, so my hours are obviously self determined. I do have to sign up for fall classes pretty soon, sometime this month I think. Right now i have summer classes that occupy my morning - noons, but they'll be over in 4 weeks. I really don't know much about babies and have never changed a diaper or babysat a baby. But I do love kids and I'm sure I'd learn if you were patient with me ;) I know a lot of people don' t have the kind of time liberty that I do so I just wanted to let you know that I am able to help out if you do end up needing it. But my prayers are with you in finding a suitable daycare for Laelia. If I had one, you know Laelia would be in!
