Babylune

by kate baggott on November 24th, 2006

Life is not a book. Finding an adult babysitter is not easy.

How’s this for a stressful way to start the weekend:

Our babysitter just fired my baby.

True, the baby did cry all day.

True, I was searching for another care option.

True, I was worried about the baby all day and I thought it might be too big a change for her.

Still, I have two weeks left with my current class and I don’t want to let them down either. No notice, no alternative in sight, no fun.

Kerri- I wish they’d get moving on the transporter from Star Trek too.

Or, I wish I knew some local SAHM who could use the money.

I’m so sorry! Wish I were there, I’d help out. Is there anyone where you’re teaching who would be interested?

Christina- Only the students in the class I’m teaching.

Child care stresses are awful. Maybe you could find someone through your school (if you are teaching at a school)? I’m afraid my au pair is going to quit soon too.
