From: SWIFT [[email protected]]Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 3:12 PMTo: Rigley Berg, AngelaSubject: Babysitter
Ang!!! […] Anyway - we obviously don't know a whole lot of people in the neighborhood and we're in the market for an occasional babysitter. Especially an afternoon babysitter. I'm still at Nelsen and Aminu is working evenings up in West Seattle (until July). I either have to hurry home right after school or Aminu wakes Zain up early from his nap and drops him off with me on his way to work. In either case, I'm not getting much work done. I was thinking..."if I only knew a few responsible high schoolers who might be interested..."Do you have any students who might want to watch Zain a couple afternoons a week for an hour or two? (4:00 - 6:00)? Or for an occasional date night on Saturday? We live in the Lakeland East development...just past the Shopping Center. It would be great if they could drive/bike/walk to our house.[…]Take care,Sarah
