The Good Life

So this is how the rich and famous live. I can get used to a life like this. We just returned from my sister's wedding in Orlando and the babysitter situation could not have worked out any better. Having a wonderful nanny available at your beck and call is a really cool thing. Jackie came highly recommended from my friend Amanda, who uses her as a nanny for her little girl during the week. Jackie was warm, friendly and brilliant at her job. Not only did the kids instantly take to her, but Jeff and I did too.

Jackie was with us on Saturday for 13 hours and 10 hours on Sunday. For a good part of the time she was an extra pair of hands and jumped in when needed. She had these amazing instincts on when to help out and when to take a step back. Plus, with very minimal instruction, she was fantastic with Sam and remembered everything the first time.

Jackie made the logistics part of how we would take care of the kids for the wedding and all related activities easy. Because of her there was no stress and definitely no worry on if the kids were in good hands. She rocked!

I told Amanda we were keeping her. Since I am not rich or famous this of course will never come to be. But for 48 hours, it was nice to live like a rockstar and have a traveling nanny for the weekend. Fortunately we didn't have any run-ins with the paparazzi.
