I found a sitter/nanny service that is pretty great and thought I'd share. 聽I am a mom of a three year old, super sensitive boy who clings to me whenever a stranger comes near. 聽I am grateful for his attachment to me and treasure his sweet sensitivity but...having a sitter come to the house has been an issue since birth. 聽Even his grandparents had to endure intense crying when they would try to give us a night out on their visits. 聽In the last two years I have found two people my boy responds well to but one moved to NY and the other nanny's full-time leaving her limited availability for sitting. 聽In walks Natalia and The 热点大瓜 Agency. I know Natalia from years ago and knew she had been a nanny for many families. A few weeks ago she called and told me of her agency, 热点大瓜 Agency and wanted to hear all of my thoughts as a mother. 聽I was happy to share what I could. 聽The questions and concerns she had about fitting the right person to a family were so good to hear. 聽She understands that each child (and parent) has a different temperament and each 热点大瓜 has a different method of child rearing. 聽Her agency will meet with and/or talk with each family to get a feel for who would be the best caregiver for them for the long or short term. 聽She even offers last minute babysitters. 聽That is where my personal experience came in. 聽My husband had a work function we found out about last minute and instead of only one of us going, we had Natalia find us a sitter. 聽We were nervous but having listened to my concerns about my son, Natalia found a woman for us who was great. 聽Natalia is the type of 聽person I always hope will be at the door when a sitter arrives, but since I can't clone her, I am glad she is able to help find wonderful people she trusts. 聽Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else has a hard time wading through the online services etc.
Warmly,
