Nanny share available in Noe Valley
uktotak | | 
0
We are currently in a share care arrangement with another family, who decided to move out of town in early September.
We have an amazing nanny (Irish) and our daughter (now 18 months) adores her. We don't want to loose our nanny and therefore looking for another family to join our share care. We live in Noe Valley and have a spacious place to host the share care.
Our nanny is very active and engaging with the girls, reads books, takes them to story time, daily outings to the park/play grounds, music class and organizes play dates with other nannys. She is extremely reliable, never late or missed a day and she also takes care of her own health and never was sick.
She is on the spot in her work. She prepares fresh food for the girls and keeps the play area/ toys extremely clean. She keeps us up-to-date about the day; sleep, eating, mood etc. and sends pictures of their activities as well.
We are looking for a family with a child close to our daughter's age (18 months), who is looking for a full-time share care arrangement (Mo-Fr, 8-5) starting early September. We would also be open to arrange with 2 families.
If you would like to know more, please reply to this posting.
Thanks!!

Ask the Safety Guy: I have a newborn; where and when should I begin my babyproofing?

It is not too early to start making your home safer for both you and your baby. You are right to recognize that you have several months before your baby becomes mobile enough to get into a lot of trouble, but here are several issues you may want to address right away.
The Basics: Be sure you have smoke detectors with fresh batteries in each bedroom, in the adjacent hallway and on each level of your home. Consider obtaining a Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitor as babies, due to their high metabolism, are more susceptible to CO poisoning. And do not overlook the importance of having a fire extinguisher mounted to the wall on each level of your home and an escape ladder for the second story. Consider keeping an extra infant carrier with the escape ladder to ease your exit with baby in tow.
Do It Now: Evaluate your furniture and securely brace to the wall anything that may topple in an earthquake. Do not overlook dressers and shelves that your toddler may attempt to climb a year or so from now. Check your water heater temperature setting to ensure it is as low as possible and not greater than 120 degrees. Finally, make sure your throw rugs have fresh grips beneath them. Otherwise, a grandparent or babysitter may slip and fall while carrying your baby. This is also a good time to prepare or purchase your disaster kits that you can supplement with baby supplies and food.
Sooner Rather Than Later: Technically, you probably do not have to address the safety hazards hidden in your cabinets until your baby is mobile. However, if you latch your “dangerous” cabinets prior to your child exploring them, you can use a lower cost and more adult-friendly latch. Latches installed after a child has explored the cabinets need to be much more sophisticated in order to be effective. Door stops with removable caps (choke hazard) are one of the first things an infant will discover and thus they should be removed or replaced with one piece units. Electrical outlets are the next potentially hazardous fascination (using the sliding plate covers rather than the old-fashioned push-in plugs).
Think About Your Guests: Many of us experience an influx of guests and visitors upon becoming parents. Many of these guests may also have young children, so you may want to accelerate the installation of some safety features (i.e. gates, pool fencing, etc.) to facilitate safe and stress free visits. And do not forget about Grandma and Grandpa. Adding railings on the stairs or grab bars in the guest bathroom with ensure a safe stay for them as well.
In summary, my advice to you is to get started right away with the above referenced tasks as soon as possible. But while you are at it, enjoy and savor this time as much as possible as the days of laying your baby on a blanket (and her actually staying there) are so special and too short-lived. Then at the first signs of mobility, jump into high gear to create a safe environment for your little to explore, grow and learn.

Amazing PT Nanny Available
Runi | | 0
Our AMAZING PT nanny is available 2 days a week starting
this month. Dina has been a nanny for many years and is a
mom herself. She has lots of experience with newborns,
toddlers and older kids. She has excellent references from 3
families.
She has been with one family for 4.5 years and has cared
for their 2 boys since birth. They are transitioning their
children to preschool so she has hours available. She is
warm, loving and energetic. My daughter (now 1.5 yrs) just
adores her and lights up when she enters the room.
Dina is very organized, patient, responsible, and
completely trustworthy. She is always on time and
enthusiastic. She delights in taking my baby on stroller
walks, reading to her, engaging in age-appropriate
activities at the library and rec center, and playing with
her at the playground.
She believes in giving her undivided attention to the baby
so she doesn't use her cell phone or watch TV (not ever). At
the playground, other moms tell me how impressed they are by
her care of my baby. She speaks excellent English and has
CPR training.
If you are interested, please send me an email or call me
at 201-921-4522.
Below is the recommendation from Karen, the mom who worked
with Dina for 4.5 years. Karen is also more than willing to
talk to anyone who may be a good family for Dina.
