It's Tatge-tastic!!: WORK/SITTER Updates

Since this subject has run my life for the last few months I thought I'd update on it separately lol. We are very sad to have lost our long-time receptionist at Nailize. Miss Francine was offered a great opportunity to switch careers a few weeks ago. We miss her very much and wish her the best. The shop won't be the same without her :(

This has given mom and I the task of sorting out our schedules and finding a few new people to fill in the hours we can't do ourselves. We are lucky to have a wonderful girl working for us on saturdays that may be able to pick up a few shifts. And Andrea, a nail tech, has stepped up to help us out as well (until december). We are also training Lauren, my moms neighbors daughter, to be our new receptionist. She is awesome so far, and just a side note...I used to change her diapers...so we go way back lol. It's really great to have her at the shop, trust with never be an issue, she is like family :)

Now I get to find a new sitter situation all together. Anna, who I love, can only watch Natalie Wednesday afternoons once her fall semester starts....which I no longer need.....UGH. The joys.

I'm probably looking at a future of M,W,F schedule, which is great to have some time in the shop to really help out and do everything I need to do, on time and efficiently. I'm also thrilled to eventually not have to work any NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been aggressively calling schools the last few weeks and after a not so promising phone call from my number one choice, I had another option come my way. A friend of my brothers has a little girl also and a great sitter who watches little ones out of her house. Chandra was nice enough to share her info with me and made me feel great about this lady Diane. I spoke with her today and I was pleasantly surprised. She sounds wonderful. And having a recommendation from a new mom like myself means the world!! She is in Boca, close to work, is affordable and flexible with my new schedule. Sooo Natalie will be going there this friday (while I work) to see how things go. My fingers are crossed. I'm very nervous, yet calm and excited all at once. Sad about Anna but hoping to keep her as a weekend sitter because Natalie really likes her and so do we.

I'll probably update on this after Natalie's 15 month check up!! Oh my gosh...time is flying.
