My long and drawn out search for the world’s perfect nanny is over! Done. Finito. I called her tonight. She was very excited, and it was sweet. While I may not be in love, I’m in deep like, and I think she’ll be the right fit. You can’t hurry love, right?
I’m ready to move on and be my old self again. I take that back – I want to be my YOUNG self again. (I think I’ve aged about 10 years this last week.) But first, a list of thank yous:
- Husband- already thanked you
- Mom/ MIL – no more stalking, k?
- Father – same goes for you
- Real-life friends – I owe you a drink
- Blog-life friends – Too bad you don’t live near me, or I’d buy you a drink too
- Brother’s random friend from law school – thanks for the baby sitting offer!
- Seaside nannies – appreciate the gesture – if you weren’t in San Diego I’d be all over it
- Day care fanatics – you convinced me, but not my husband
I went with the gut, and I hope it works out. And I’m glad to be able to blog about something else for a change.
The end.
Or is it just the beginning?

Yay for you! And going with your gut… always a good way to go!

Ha! I saw her pushing the swing this morning on my way to work. I agree – very talented. Congrats!!
I’m so relieved and excited for you! I hope it works out too. Maybe that deep like will turn into love after all!
Oh good! I think that’s the most stressful thing to go through — I really hope it works out well.
Yay! Now that’s a sigh of relief.
Phew! That must feel really great – good for you. And you know, I am not sure it’s a good idea to be in love with your nanny from the start – best ones grew on me:)
Congratulations! I’m sure it’s a big relief! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!
PS – how are the rain boots
Congrats! If it wasn’t totally inappropriate you could break out the bubbly with her.
I’d like a cyber margarita on the rocks, please. Oh, and congrats!
Oh, I like this post, especially the thank you list
Funny, I just blogged about “the end” or “the beginning”.
Good luck on the new nanny. I hope it works out well.
That is great news!!!
I’m so happy for you! That’s great!
