Mr. Landlord and I are long overdue for some one-on-one time and adult meals and conversation. Finding a good, reliable babysitter is next to impossible. We are not asking for much, just an occasional Saturday evening out. Previously, we had a Spanish nanny/housekeeper two days a week who liked to babysit on the weekends for extra money. However, when my son started speaking she couldn't communicate with him anymore so she's out. Then we hired someone from "Grandparents Unlimited" to babysit one Saturday night who looked like an ex-meth addict...we were so nervous about her, we drove around the neighborhood and then parked at the end of the street - with the house in view - until the appropraite time interval lapsed which would allow us to go back into the house and say the movie was sold out. Our neighbors refuse to share their babysitting resources for fear that we will book their babysitter on the same night they need someone. Sooooooo....I posted an ad for a babysitter/nanny on the university job bank last week. It goes something like this:
Need babysitter/nanny for 2.5 year old boy. Must be energetic, creative, patient, caring, and engaging. (READ: You cannot sit and stare at my son while he is playing when you are babysitting.) Must also be CPR trained and English speaking, as well as classified as a sophomore or greater.
Do you think anyone will respond?
