Anyone know of a groovy teenager-type individual who can come help us out? Probably about 5-10 hours a week, $5 an hour? My DH or I will be home most of the time, but I would like someone old enough to watch Moon for an hour or two alone if necessary. The job would be playing with Moon, or if she was napping, maybe doing some dishes. That's about it <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

I know of a mom, does it have to be a teenager?

It doesn't have to be a teenager, but Moon has a hard time with sharing attention <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/bag.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Bag">: so if it's a mama, bringing her children wouldn't work too well. I don't want this to be stressful for Moon, just helpful for us <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

I know a young woman who is also in college. She's very nice and very reliable. She lives in Gresham. Let me know if you're interested.

Anyone else? I would be happy with even a 12 year old who loves to push the swing while we garden! We wouldn't leave Moon alone with s/he, but it would still be a big help <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

I would love to help out but I have 2 monkeys of my own...... though my dd loves to play outside <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

well, my 12 year old LOVES to baby sit and mother's help, but we live in NE .. .<br><br>
once it is summer and we are less busy, she might want to add more to her plate, but for now, i can't imagine her doing anything outside of the neighborhood . ..<br><br>
what days/hours were you imagining?
