If you have kids, you know the trauma and drama associated with finding sitters. First, you don't want just anyone staying with your beloved offspring. Second, if your beloved offspring are like mine, they occasionally turn into demon spawn (yes, I know that makes me a demon), so said sitter has to have the patience of a sait, or at least good exorcism skills. Add in the plethora of activities and jobs that teenagers seem to take on, and their own social lives, and it's tough to find a good one.
I use a full-time sitter in the summers; sadly it's cheaper than full day camps (which really doesn't seem right). She's great; she drives (a neccesity since my pool is not in my neighborhood), she's creative, she loves my kids, my kids LOVE her, she frequently has rifles in her car to keep them in line (OK, they're color guard rifles).... All the things a babysitter needs.
And when I woke up this morning and went downstairs to make my coffee????
I realized she'd cleaned my kitchen! Not serious clean (no mopping or anything), but she did all my dishes, put them away, cleaned off the counters, etc!
What a great sitter!
Heck, what a great person!!!!! I was very happy.

I LOVE knowing that your sitter keeps rifles in her car....
...has she taught the kids how to spin them yet?
That should make for hours and hours (days and days) worth of entertainment, with the slight possibility of long-term career skills!
I still have my rifle, sabre and flag pool. they live in the hall closet. :)
I hope i have a chance to meet your amazing sitter some day!
