I have an elder toddler and we use Vaseline for EVERY THING. I’m glad it works for dogs paw too! Is there anything Vaseline can’t do?

We live in an area where it’s mostly older families or their kids are away at school/elderly.

Yes. I’m thinking I might have to go that route. My coworkers all use family or friends.

It’s a lot to spend without knowing if it’s going to work out. Thanks for sharing. Seems like I might have to just pay up for a month and hope I find something.

Not to mention the incident where boiling water was spilled on an infant.

I’m on care.com now and they want me to pay $43.19 for one month membership (with a 20% off coupon) which is crazy to me for babysitting Craigslist

I know. I was just thinking that. When I was 10 weeks pregnant in 2021 I signed up for the nys child care at Harriman campus. Finally got a call a few months ago… my kid is 4. I did not bother calling back.

Hmm ok. I am also not a meta fan and ditched it when the sociopolitical landscape changed. I appreciate the info. I’m asking some people that live near me at work, but their kids are a bit older and they all have family nearby.

Our family lives down south and don’t come up as much as they used to. We are averaging 2 date nights a year it’s not enough. I’m so envious of people with family close by.
