Child Care

I watched one young lady from November of 2010 until the beginning of July 2011. It was eight months of bliss and I enjoyed every moment. I still wish I had not needed to stop watching her, but am very happy that her family situation has returned to normal. I watched her just after school from November until May, then I moved in to the house from May until July. I really enjoyed the time I spent with her and love that she still appears to have a very strong bond with me. She still seeks me out at church and begs me to come over for dinner, a movie, a sleepover, she tries everything.

In the meantime I worked a catering job, while still babysitting, and then for a fire, water, and mold restoration service. The catering job was not too bad, but I really did not like the boss. The restoration job was just such odd hours and I did not enjoy the work. I was in pain all the time from both jobs, but especially the restoration job. My body is still wrecked and I haven't been there in months.

Once again I am doing child care, but for a baby. She is just the cutest thing I have ever seen. Ok, that may not be true, but darn is she cuteness incarnate. I actually got the job through her aunt, who attends my church and knew I had been babysitting the other young lady. It was nice to know that I was recommended. I would not necessarily want to just get the job based on she had been looking for a sitter and I applied. I do three days a week with her and other random times when they ask and I can. I am really enjoying it

Job Changing Like It Is a Job

I have had a hard time holding down a steady job since the bank. That is not to say I have been unemployed, because I really only was for those months after the bank and more due to depression than no one hiring me. It is just that job threw me quite the curve ball and a lot was happening with my family at the time so I pretty much just gave up. Once I started actually looking it really was not that hard to find work.
I did the catering company for a month then I got the job with PuroClean. Granted PuroClean is now dropping down to one day a week, if they need me, in favor of a babysitting job that I much prefer. I did not really like the work at PuroClean and would much rather play with a baby all day. I do not think that is so strange. If you have ever played with a baby, you totally get where I am coming from
