it's the normal hiring blues.... of the appointments I set to interview only some of them show up. Some who do show up have no intention of taking the job. Of the ones who do show up and want a job only some are appropriate. Of the ones who are the most appropriate there always seem to be vacation/pay issues.......

I need to have a trained replacement for our pregnant, relocating sitter by the end of March. I am not desperate yet, I keep trying to remind myself. I want to be picky. Picky is good. yet.... I JUST WANT TO HIRE SOMEONE NOW!!!!

sigh. end of complaint for the day. A fresh interview to look forward to tomorrow. Things might be great, right?

Good luck! I hope you find the perfect person.

Hugs, hon, that sounds rough.

Why even show up if you have no intention of taking a job <headscratch>??? That just seems like a waste of your AND their time, yk?

Chin up, someone wonderful will come along!

Have you told everyone that you know that you are looking? I always find through word of mouth.

I 'think' we found a great sitter! She starts this wednesday so still a bit tentative about everything till it really happens.... but we all like her and she seems to like us. Thanks for the well wishes! This search was a nail biter.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this one will work out!

oh, good luck!

The trying to find the best care for your children part of working is the hardest. Every time I think that we've got it and won't ever have to worry about it again, something else comes up.

crap - less than 12 hours till start time and she 'accepted another position.' GD! I think somehow I knew this was going to happen, never felt so tentative about a hire before. SIGH. Shist!

Got a new job offered post on craigslist already, will expand the search tomorrow morning. Tonight I think I'll just mope.

Cathy-

oh how frustrating for you!

if there is any chance you are near me (near Sacramento,CA) I would gladly baby sit for you!!
