But the commute from Chicago would be a little much...<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, my credentials:<BR/><BR/>5 tattoos, including one pretty badass Sailor Jerry-esque blonde on my arm with "Bombshell" written underneath.<BR/><BR/>An expansive knowledge and appreciation of non-mainstream music, including, but not limited to: ska, reggae, blues, jazz, swing, and punk.<BR/><BR/>A smattering of French, taught to me by an instructor whose first language was Chinese.<BR/><BR/>I write poetry, short stories, song parodies, and, oh yeah, JV conversations ;)<BR/><BR/>I seriously considered becoming an art teacher, but realized that my drawing skills are mediocre...but I can make a mean doodle here and there.<BR/><BR/>Plenty o' experience with ankle biters---mine's 8...and he's a boy...and together, we BOTH laugh at fart noises...on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>A belief that clean toilets are happy toilets. :) <BR/><BR/>-T.Tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822243760340149144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-6928845468727828722008-08-30T15:35:00.000-04:002008-08-30T15:35:00.000-04:00I miss the bobby soxer sitters though.

The ones who took what money you could offer, treated your kids like little adults, and you didn't come home to the red and blue lights flashing outside your home. Guess I'm just too old, huh? Good luck in your search.Harbor Honhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311482342041164790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-58986294797931303772008-08-29T18:41:00.000-04:002008-08-29T18:41:00.000-04:00Trust your instincts about who watches your kids! ...Trust your instincts about who watches your kids! You'll know when you find the right one.<BR/><BR/>You'd be surprised at what some people DON'T ask when they interview the people that care for their children. The last time I was looking for a new job, I was struck by how many of the employers first concern was money. I know that's important, but that can't be the only criteria! I felt like I was doing WAY more of the interviewing than my prospective employers!<BR/><BR/>I'd expound on my 20+ years of nanny experience, my mad cooking skills and organizational OCD-ness, only to hear, "yes, but we were looking to pay in the $6-$10 an hour range." Ugh. All I can say is that you get what you pay for. <BR/><BR/>Good luck in your search! I know you'll find an awesome sitter for the Crabbykids!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456394181601374129noreply@blogger.com
