Local interest note: Some students at U.Va. have launched a service to match students with jobs such as baby-sitting, tutoring, and etc. For people in the Charlottesville (VA, US) area, this may be a worthwhile means of finding child care help. Here’s how Mike Gugel explains it:
It’s pretty hard to find a trustworthy babysitter or tutor in Charlottesville, especially if your child is disabled or has special needs. Friends and family aside, there aren’t many places you can turn to…. Hiring UVa students for child care ensures you’re getting qualified and responsible workers. So if you need a babysitter, a tutor for your kids, help moving, computer help, or any other short term job, it might be worth checking out www.collegequickjobs.com.
Wow… Great article My daughter is seven on sunday and has already planned a day out at the aquarium. Normally we are out and about even in December but this year the weather has been so bad we have had to choose an indoor activity .. any suggestions you can come up with?
