Changing of the Guard

12 January, 2010
Posted in: Family

Florence, our childminder, is leaving us for a full time job. Alas. M starts when the children go back to school (possibly tomorrow?). I hope that they like her. Mr. Waffle rang her reference. He spoke to the father of the children she had babysat. “Did the children like her?” I asked anxiously. “Apparently,” said Mr. Waffle “they respected her”. Not exactly a ringing endorsement then.

    Good luck! Am finding it difficult to get a regular babysitter (that I trust!) myself – it’s a nightmare!

    Surely that’s the best endorsement you could have – suggestive of an old fashioned, stern nanny? Or am I just betraying my childlessness here?

    Thanks C.

    Praxis, you have just been too long in the land of francophones – M is French and her previous employer actually said “elle se faisait respecter” and he meant in a good way.
