  Nanny Leads
  I just recently hired Mina as a part time nanny and housekeeper. She has been an absolute gem! First of all, she came with the most stellar recommendations I had ever heard - and she has lived up to every word! She is extremely hard working, reliable, sweet, and she is absolutely wonderful with my 3 month old little girl. I can't say enough good things about her - on top of being a fabulous nanny and housekeeper, she is an amazing person. She has TONS of experience with babies and multiples and older children as well. She speaks English and has taken many classes like CPR and infant/toddler safety, etc. She takes a lot of pride in her work. Mina lives in the North Hollywood area and takes the bus, so she prefers somewhere that has fairly easy bus access. She currently works for me on Mondays and Thursdays and has the rest of the week available. If necessary, I can be somewhat flexible with my days because I work mostly from home. She also charges a reasonable amount. We couldn't be happier with her and we really don't want to lose her! If you have any questions or want more information, please contact me at daniellesigal at yahoo.com and I can give you her number. Thank you and have a Happy New Year!!! 
  AND
  I recently had to let my wonderful Nanny of 6 years go because as my kids got older we really needed someone who could drive, which she did not. I'm trying to find her a wonderful new family. She is looking preferably for a family with a newborn, or young baby. She is loving, caring, trustworthy, always on time, and just a truly good person. She has seen us through 2 of 3 kids since they were babies. She is looking for Monday - Friday, full time preferred, but would work part-time for the right family. She never worked 40 hours a week for us. It ranged from 24-32 hours a week. The other great thing about her is that she is extremely flexible. Her schedule changed many times over the 6 years and she was always made it work. She always speaks great English. If you would like to speak to me about her, email me at jespenmiller at verizon.net. Or you can call Lucy directly at 323.854.8756.



  Tums for Kids!
  Since I am pregnant, Tums and I have become good friends. While shopping the other day, I noticed that they now make them for kids! Kids get upset stomachs too, whether it's from overindulging in the foods they love, trying new and different foods, eating on the run or many other reasons. Now there is a TUMS variety just for them - TUMS Kids. TUMS Kids is a safe and effective way to treat upset stomachs. Plus it is an excellent source of daily calcium. For ages 2-11. http://www.tumskids.com/
