The nanny saga continues.
After I sent out about 15 inquiries through care.com, we interviewed two people last week (it was supposed to be 3, but the 3rd canceled the day of.) The first interview was awesome. We liked her; the kids liked her; Higgins liked her. We THOUGHT she liked us. She even made sure we had the right number for her reference a few days later. And then dropped off the face of the Earth.
The second interview was…okay. She was a little flat, and there was something……..I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. She was lovely and answered everything we asked, but … gotta go with your gut.
So…more inquiries through care.com this past week. Two more perspectives who are interested. I set up an interview with one for this evening…and she just canceled on us. Postponed to next week. Luckily – I hadn’t chatted with the second person yet, so SHE’S going to fill in tonight’s now-free spot. OY!!
Also, it’s been a long few weeks!! I’m not really getting much work done and will have to submit a butt-load of vacation time. BUT, with Burke and Maggie in school, I get lots of Logan time. In addition to just playing, playing, playing…we’ve been to the library, the zoo, and free time at his gym for bouncies time. I’m exhausted 😛
Luckily, I discovered the perfect wine yesterday:

Ugh! This is one of the main reasons why we never considered a nanny. I know when the fit is right and the person last forever, it can be so great. But all the searching and the canceling would drive me over the edge. Good luck finding the right one. I hope it’s a nice, long-term match for you! 🙂
I hope you’re able to find someone that everyone loves really soon!
