I'm pretty happy with the babysitter we have found for our three kids for the afternoons. As with any person, she has her strengths and weaknesses. Being older (60) and experienced, she is a pro with caring for and getting to know the kids. They already like her a lot. She is a friendly, intelligent woman. She brings the kids books to read from the library, and has an unlimited supply of bubble soap. She brought cake for the birthday of our youngest - no, two cakes.
There are a few "buts", but I will have to live with some of these buts. However, one of these is causing me a headache, literally. Our babysitter has a cat at home, and my eldest and myself have started having allergy symptoms at home. I've had minor breathing problems a few times in the past week. And suddenly, I realize why. I'm extremely allergic to cat hair.
You can't have it all, right? Wheeze wheeze.
Oh no! Someone I know was actually dumped because his girlfriend chose horses over him. It was either him or the horses that had to go because he could hardly breath around her after her visits to the stables. Hope you'll be able to manage until the move! Anyway, pollen season is around the corner so then you'll be sneezing anyway...
