stmx weekfenbrattilday f97 p 9 babysitters deserve own special day of honour it started with mothers day then fathers day was added when being a dad finally achieved official status a few years back eventually grand parents secretaries bosses firefighters and lefthanded widget makers were all being given their day to put their feet up and let others bring them cards coffee and chocolates but there is still one notice able void in terms of unique categories of people deserving of honour because of the indispensable role they play babysitters those teenaged tickets to temporary respite from the nonstop demands of parenting youngsters after a long day at work are yet to be awarded their own special date on the calendar and what better time of year than the christmas holidays to pay homage to these sisters and brothers on occasion of mercy for without them those of us chained to the relentless routine of get up dress and feed the kids get the kids off to day care go to work come home feed and entertain the kids keep the kids from killing each other put the kids to bed collapse and go to bed would have even less of a life than we do already while susan and i have in the past been dependent upon referrals from other parents who are often reluctant to divulge their sitters names out of self interest thats all changed since she began teaching here in town weve suddenly found ourselves privy to the most promising kiddie keepers available teaching kids has to be the best means of ferreting out potential sitters you get to observe their work habits how they get along with oth ers and their overall sense of dedication to the cause at hand consequently susan feels like the pirate who just dug up the buried treasure with grade 7 and 8 girls every where she looks she simply must walk through the halls at lunch time calling out who wants to baby sit and shes inundated with offers a quick check with the other teachers on staff and shes able to dif ferentiate between the blue chip candidates and those likely to use your kids as sci ence experiments with the endless christmas functions of late weve had no less than three situations arise where previously arranged sit ters had to cancel for various reasons no problem susan simply hoisted her sitter wanted sign onto her shoul der and walked the school halls voila within minutes shed bagged her limit and the beauty of 1 3 and 14 year old sitters is that they are yet to discover the distractions that so often render teens of more advanced age unavail able for baby sitting many have even taken courses in baby sitting showing up at the door with assorted lists of responsibilities for sitter and parents to fill out the timing couldnt be bet ter our most trusted reliable sitter of several years is get ting a little long in the tooth by teen standards she has a part time job with everincreasing hours and its time for us to realize were going to soon have to cut the cord and groom a replacement but with the recently discovered crop of up and comers at susans school we could open up our own sitter placement service but about that pro posal for a special day to acknowledge baby sitters we best make it on a monday after all thats the day were least likely to require their individual services from where i live bruce stapley dadjdasliajuktl famous for chinese food since 1972 m would like to
