Nanny Leads
Our nanny of 3 1/2 years needs to find a job.  She is so wonderful that she moved with us and lived with us for 6 months because she knew we needed the help and loves our kids so much!   Cathy is a professional nanny seeking full-time, live-out position in   the Santa Monica/brentwood/Westside area.  Cathy s.peaks perfect English (originally from  Mexico but has lived here for 25 years) and has two grown children and two grandchildren.  Cathy does all of the cleaning in our house (she can't stop herself from keeping everything spotless), takes care of 2 very rambunctious children and spends hours at the park each day, running and playing with the kids and their friends.  She is the most reliable person I have ever met and honest and trustworthy is an automatic!  Did I say that she also does the household laundry? Please contact Heather directly at 310.770.2676 or heather at alamodephoto.com if you'd like more information about the most amazing nanny in the world.
AND
Loving, reliable nanny will be available Tuesday and Wednesday mornings 8-12 starting in February when the twins she has cared for since birth will be attending preschool. Excellent references including current employer. Cecelia speaks fluent English and drives. She works for our 
neighbor and we have a lot of contact with her; she is terrific and I would hire her if she was available full time. Her current job/family is in Sherman Oaks so I assume she would like to be in the Valley. She can be reached directly: Cecilia Valladares (818) 602-2944 and is happy to provide references before an interview. Thank you, dianedocny at aol.com 
AND
My wonderful housekeeper/babysitter Maria is available 1 day a week, preferably Thursdays or Mondays. She can do straight housekeeping, or care for children (or both). She is a lovely, lovely woman. Extremely reliable, thoughtful and trustworthy, she's a pleasure to have in my home. She drives and has a nice, newer safe car as well as insurance. She speaks English but I am fielding calls and emails for her so we can find her something quickly. Please call Jennifer Rigberg at 818-415-7713 or email jenrigberg at aol.com if you are interested.


Night and Weekend Nanny available - Valley Only
My nanny(who I orginally got from an agency) is looking for night and weekend work. Her name is Olivia and she is awesome.  She is a citizen, CPR Certified, has a car and is fantastic with my 2 1/2 year old and my new born.  I do not know what we would do without her.  She is kind, loving and has a blast with my 2 1/2 year old.  She actually gets on the floor and plays.  She is looking for night and weekend work. My kids love her.

ICE campaign - "In Case of Emergency"   
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. If we were to  be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" (In Case Of Emergency).   The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE". For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3, etc. Be sure it's in your kid's cell phones also. A great idea that will make a difference!  Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.  Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
