 Can someone let me know how you properly post for a
 caregiver on the caregiver search? I have a wonderful
 nanny who has been working with our family for the past
 several months while our regular nanny has been on
 maternity leave. I would like to create a post for her
 as she will be looking for work in July. I wrote
 something on Friday and checked SFPOM Caregiver Search,
 but nothing has been posted as of yet. Any advice
 would be greatly appreciated.

 Here are the guidelines, I post them about once a

 month:http://www.bigtent.com/group/forum/message/68997474?ff=1I'll
 take a look at your posting, but I don't have the
 authority to approve all the nanny posts - there is a
 black list of nannies who misrepresented themselves in
 the past that the volunteers need to check against.
 Thank you for your patience!Jenia.

3. SFPOM - Board Member Wanted!
--------------------------------------------------------
mattrampe - 6/11/2012 7:19 pm

 Dear SFPOM:After 2 years of serving as the SFPOM
 treasurer and executive board member, it's time to hand
 the reins over to a new, excited volunteer!I have truly
 enjoyed serving the SFPOM in this capacity and without
 a doubt have benefited greatly from the many
 friendships I gained and various club services I
 utilized of as a result of my involvement. To me it
 confirms that the more you give, the more you get from
 the SFPOM.Serving on the executive board is a superb
 way to help shape the next great ideas that will drive
 our club forward and to see them put into action. 
 Monitoring the club's finances is the lifeblood of
 being able to provide future events and services.Now if
 the thought of accounting makes you break out in a cold
 sweat, let me assure you that the Treasurer role is
 very simple and user friendly. You don't need a PhD in
 math, or even a background in accounting, to pick it up
 quickly -- we've built a highly automated, paperless
 system and I will be with you every step of the way to
 ensure an easy and smooth transition. Like the
 President, VP and Secretary, you will need to meet for
 board meetings and respond to board issues as they
 arise, but the time commitment is fairly flexible and
 not burdensome by any means.I wanted to post this to
 the forum so that another enthusiastic parent of
 multiples can take hold of this position and run with
 it. The club is truly what you make of it, and I have
 been highly impressed with the many wonderful ideas
 that have bubbled forth from our membership, so I know
 the future leaders are out there.Please let me know if
 you're interested. I'd be happy to talk you through
 the process (really, it's very streamlined), and to
 start discussing the transition.Thanks and best
 regards,Matt

 Do you love your nanny, but your kids are starting
 preschool soon and you'll no longer need her? I need to
 hire someone new and have flexibility on the timing.
 I'm interested finding someone who has experience with
 twin toddlers, is a self-starter, can cook, does fun
 activities with the kids, can drive, speaks English or
 Mandarin and has good energy. Thanks in advance for any
 referrals!

 we went when the kids were a little older-- 27 months. 
 it wasn't the best night's sleep, but we had a really
 great time. i don't think we could have done it at 19
 mos. here was our planning for the first tester outing
 -- one saturday night - we left the city during naptime
 and returned during naptime -- close by ie. close
 enough for the middle of the night bailout - we went
 for redwoody and got to see banana slugs and the ground
 was soft for when they fell down -- we practiced in the
 tent at home before we left -- at night, each parent
 took one kid to sleep, though they didn't stay like
 that and sleeping was a challenge, don't get me wrong.
 we may try a different technique next time. one thing
 that came in handy was having the car close by to help
 calm and contain the noise of a 2am screamfest --iphone
 app saved that one. and yes to the nightlight, books
 and other toys for the tent. having their special
 digger/stuffed animal whatever it may be was really
 important. but, it was a real adventure for us and we
 are planning on going again! good luck!
