Having a son who is almost a year old (16 days and counting), I am constantly running after him grabbing things out of his mouth (I have mastered the art of the finger sweep- though it has gotten MUCH harder since his new 4 teeth!), and basically I have to keep my eye on him 24/7. Now I must admit I am lucky (no pun intended), I have help during the week. In order for me to work I need a hands on sitter to watch the boy, so that he’s not screaming & burping into the phone, like he did today on a business call – super professional, I had to say, sorry that wasn’t me….ugg. Anyway, on the weekends my husband & I are at the beach a lot and our little house needs loads of work…which is impossible with this little one. Between cooking 3 meals a day for us, preparing & cooking 3 meals for him (plus snacks), breast feeding & watching the little bugger where is there time to clean, fix things (washer broke, pipe in basement busted, water filtration system went kaput, wasps nest in grill)….and I wish I were kidding. and btw- these are the smaller issues, we need LOADS of other issues attended to. So with that in mind it brings me to my dream: Lucky lil Darlings. They are an elite babysitting service for Manhattan and The Hamptons (and Oregon I believe), what I wouldn’t do to have an extra set of hands so my hubby & I could shocker- go out to dinner, or to the hardware store without a little squirmer or many other things….it sounds like a dream.
