We've just placed an ad looking for someone to watch The Dillo. Our hoped-for candidate, ex-nanny's daughter, looks like she won't work out. She's willing to do Wednesdays and Fridays, but isn't interesting in watching both Dillo and our neighbor's 10 month old the other days. So maybe we find someone for the other days, and maybe we find a whole new someone for all 5 days. I guess I should hit the list-servs, too.
Child care is definitely the most stressful part of parenting, at least as far as stress deriving from external causes and not one's own neuroses goes.
Last time we placed an ad we got the Most Amazing Student Ever - she was better at caring for Casper than we, her own parents, were, and more experienced too - but I feel like there's no way we'll be that lucky twice.
