Always a daunting task trying to find just the right person to look after your greatest treasure!<BR/><BR/>Maybe Emily will be able to help to find someone and a teenager could be the answer (if she come with good references). In the dim and distant past I used the teenager from next door (lucky) and my daughter did sitting when she was in her teens. I still see the mother of those children and she always asks after my girl. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with it. <BR/><BR/>AxStrawberry Jam Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695110960213262472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18974607.post-15219340707246048982008-10-09T15:14:00.000-05:002008-10-09T15:14:00.000-05:00EmilyLeaving your child with a stranger is a daunt...Emily<BR/>Leaving your child with a stranger is a daunting idea. If any of your local mums can recommend a good babysitter I'd be grateful.

I know they exist. I used to babysit all the time in high school, and a teenager comes to your house, focuses all of their attention (hopefully) on your kid, doesn't charge much, and doesn't have their own opinions about child rearing. Plus they don't have their own kids they have to rush home to - they're available! <BR/><BR/>If you want me to ask around for you - I know some of the moms in your neighborhood use teenagers. A good referral may be the best way to go. (But as I'm saying this, I haven't done this myself, so take it with a grain of salt.) :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257383770882314637noreply@blogger.com
