It's amazing how things can change in a matter of days!
domingo I was lamenting about my situation, the fact that I'm going to be leaving the McCall's house and onto somewhere else with no money, no job, and no real job prospects...
I was worried, frustrated y burnt out from hoping that all the jobs that I applied to were going to work out, and yet seeing none of them come to fruition. I wouldn't say that I had lost faith, I was just discouraged like none other.
The other week I posted an add request on Craigslist. I got discouraged because no one responded to it, so I posted it yet again. On the 13th I got a response from a lady looking for help viente-cuatro hours/week. I went, on that same day, to a nanny interview for two 11-week old twins. I thought it went well until I botched a question because I wasn't thinking and at that time didn't think anything of it. She said that she would let me know by Friday if I had the job or not and if I were to get it, I would start the following Monday or Wednesday.
I waited for the phone call on Friday, and much to my lack of surprise, I didn't receive one. [This has seemed to be my typical response from potential employers, where social work or nanny related, and it's a really frustrating response to get].
On Friday afternoon I received another inquiry about my nanny posting. This was for a 4 month old and a 2 year old, though care would be primarily for the baby during the night for feedings, changings, and the like. After talking back and forth, she asked me if I was available to come Saturday night and babysit from 10pm-10am. I agreed and on Saturday I went over there and met her and the baby for the first time. The baby, Rafael, is absolutely adorable and a very sweet baby. I call him Rafi. :)
After Saturday night, Alex said that she would call me with a schedule of sorts... well, she called me Monday to see if I could babysit that night, and I said yes. Rafi, was again, cute as could be, though a little fussier this time... So, I'm on the bus riding home this morning and I get a series of 4 texts from Alex.
This is what they said::
Hi amanda. if you want to come work here full time at least for the summer and give that a try that's fine. I can offer you as many nights as you want plus some hours in the day once you move closer. Think about it and let me know how much money you want. I have a lady that cleans and does laundry too and she does a very thorough job. I can offer that to you if you want. She spends the whole day cleaning. Depends how much you want to work. Anyway let me know if you are interested or I can just keep her for cleaning and u can be the full time nanny. So let me know and what you would like to be paid. Thanks.
:: So, I texted her back telling her prices and asking her when she'd like me to start full time - so I'm just waiting to hear back from her!
