Babysitters are live saviours ... celebrate them!!

As we prepare to salute the fabulous women and role models in our sphere for Mother’s Day — let’s not forget to pamper and thank the babysitter.

My trusted part-time babysitter, savior, and, surrogate mom to my babies is under the weather due to a female problem for a few weeks or more.

Let me tell you that I rely on her showing up for work so that I can work, maintain balance, breathe, be a better mom/wife/friend, and continue to reinvent and renew my brand post childbirth. Continue reading →

No matter how you justify the expense, babysitting and day school is darn expensive for the preschoolers.

It only gets worse.
