Babysitting Woes

Last week, our sitter informed us that she would no longer be able to watch children.  She is needing to send her own son to preschool to help with his speech delays so she's taking a job at the daycare to offset the cost.  Initially we were really upset with her because of the way she told us...she placed a letter in our bag and let us "find" it.  No conversation about it until the next morning.

Our hearts were broken for our little guy.  He has been been going to Miss Dawn's house ever since he was 9 weeks old.  He's used to her, her routines, her schedules, her personality.  Now, all of that is going to have to change.

We met with one girl (Miss Holly) on Sunday and she truly seems like a wonderful sitter.  The only reservations we have about her is that she seemed to smile very little.  We'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was nervous.  The other thing is that she charges regardless of whether Ethan goes or not.  Since we don't pay this way now, we're worried about how much more money this will be.

We are hoping to meet one other possibility this upcoming weekend so we'll see how it goes from there.
