1. Stroller Theft
--------------------------------------------------------
MamaWobin - 8/2/2013 1:56 pm

 I just wanted to post this as a heads up. Our double
 Bob was stolen from inside a church where our nanny was
 attending a playgroup with our 20-mo olds on Wednesday.
 The thief left another double Bob that she had stolen
 less than an hour beforehand from the academy of
 sciences in its place. We were able to get that
 stroller back to its family but ours is still missing.
 The academy of sciences has security footage of the
 woman taking the first stroller - sadly she had two
 kids with her. And because of the location and timing
 we believe she must have driven a car to the second
 location. The whole thing is very strange and we're
 really not sure what to make of it. We're following up
 with the police (understandably not their highest
 priority), the church and the academy but we don't have
 high hopes of getting our stroller back. I just wanted
 to let you all know since she is apparently a serial
 stroller thief (?!). Plus, I am worried about those two
 kids she is toting around town stealing strollers with.
 Our theory is that she must be unstable. It doesn't
 seem like the usual stroller theft of convenience. I
 can't imagine if I was left stranded far from home with
 two hungry kids and no stroller! Luckily our nanny had
 her other nanny friends there to help her and they lent
 her diapers, food, blankets and jackets for the kids
 since all that was stolen along with the stroller...
 Anyway, be aware I guess. And if your stroller goes
 missing and a black double Bob is left in its place
 please get in touch with me. It's not some
 absent-minded momma making a mistake as we at first
 hoped!

 Our fabulous nanny, Rachida Orr, will be looking for a
 new family starting in September. She has been with our
 family for the past 3 years and cared for our boy/girl
 twins since they were 9 months old. Our kids are
 starting full-time school in the fall, and Rachida will
 be available for a new family in September. We only
 have the most positive things to say about her and have
 been so lucky to have her be a part of our family these
 last years. We are sad to be moving on, but know we
 will continue our relationship as our families have
 become such good friends.Rachida is a native French
 speaker who is truly gifted with children and a joy to
 have in the house. Her childcare career includes being
 an au pair and pre-school teacher assistant in addition
 to being a nanny, and her experience across age levels
 really allows her to adapt and grow along with the
 children. She is as gentle at soothing babies as she is
 creative in designing art projects for pre-schoolers.
 For us, this continuity of care was so
 important.Rachida is very respectful and direct,
 helping to keep clear and open lines of communication
 which are critical. For us, it was really nice that she
 is also a parent raising her family in the neighborhood
 and could share our concerns and experiences. She is
 incredibly reliable and also flexible with her hours.
 She always keeps things tidy around the house.We are
 frequently approached by parents who have watched her
 at the playground and tell us how wonderful she
 is—which, of course, we know well. She is proactive
 at the playground and keeps an eye on everyone. And
 always, Rachida read to them, sings, makes art
 projects, takes them to museums and parks, and teaches
 them. Our kids absolutely love her and we do
 too!Rachida is looking to work Monday through Friday
 for 32 to 35 hours per week. She prefers to work in the
 Noe Valley/Bernal/Mission area.Her contact
