Nanny AND Babysitter Leads
Act fast because this FANTASTIC nanny will not be available for long.  It is tearing me apart, but due to my work schedule we will have to let our AMAZING nanny go.  Ana is going to be available three days a week, MWF only, as she has another family she works for on Tues. /Thurs. for 14 years! She is a GEM. Ana is the nanny who doesn't just sit back and watch your kids play, but plays with them for hours.  She will be a member of your family.  She will coordinate play dates, sing, read books, take walks, etc. She has taught not only my daughter so much, but my husband and I as well.  She even cleans the house. I want to find her a wonderful family to work with.  Ana speaks wonderful English, does not drive, but has always been on time and is completely reliable.  She lives in Van Nuys and prefers work in the Valley. Please call or email me if you want the best nanny in the world. Jillian at 818-645-0633, or jgreen at edisongroup.com.

Incredible, highly-experienced nanny available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mina is a total find - she is so wonderful with my 5 month old baby that she smiles all day long with her and gets so excited when she comes to the house. When I am working in my office, I can hear them and she is always so gentle, intuitive, and playful with my baby. I trust Mina completely to leave her alone with the baby at any time. She also helps clean around the house more than any other nanny I know. Even though the baby is always the first priority, she finds the time in the day to also clean a lot! She is a very hard worker, incredibly genuine, and LOVES children. It's really a passion for her, and she is so good at what she does... I really believe that she is a blessing as a nanny.

Pitter Patties 
All-natural, wholesome, "just heat and eat" entrées made especially for toddlers.  They are a simple solution of convenience, nutrition, and downright yummy goodness.  Five varieties include Spinach PatchT, Yammy ChickenT, CheeziniT, PasghettiT, and Confetti BurgerT.  Pitter Patties are baked in the shape of a muffin and then immediately froze to preserve freshness.  They are pick-up-able by little hands and no spoon is required.  They are very proud of our ingredient list. They are PACKED with protein, veggies, iron, and vitamins.  They have not added any salt, sugar, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or colors.  Also, they do not contain trans fats and they are antibiotic and hormone free. Great for those busy days, when parents will have something healthy to reach in the freezer for instead of chicken nuggets, mac-n-cheese, etc.  They take one minute to heat in the microwave or 20 minutes in the oven.  Each box contains four separately packaged entrees.  Most importantly.....  Kids LOVE them.  They are kid tested and devoured. Spend less time slicing and dicing in the kitchen and more time playing and cuddling with family! www.munchkinmeals.com.  If you go to "where to find us" page, there is a download for parents to print out and take to their local grocers.
