Not our regular babysitter

Last night our children were watched for a little over an hour by
a) A 13 year old girl
b) A world-famous fashion blogger

If you guessed a, you'd be correct. Ditto for those of you who chose b.

You see, my Hebrew cantillation class conflicted with a concert Josh was assigned to review, and after striking out three times on babysitters, I emailed my Hebrew teacher and study partner to tell them things were looking bleak with regard to my ability to attend.

My Hebrew teacher--who, by the way, is a Norwegian immigrant and Jew by choice who speaks a dozen languages--volunteered her daughter Tavi.

Tavi, unlike most middle school students, authors a well-regarded style blog and gets flown all over the world for fashion shows, photoshoots and interviews. Here she is in September at Fashion Week. Next month she goes to Toyko.

Kind of makes the $7 I gave her for playing puzzles and putting Z to bed seem like small potatoes.

dude if I had access to her for $7 an hour I'd take the kids and leave her with my husband so she could teach him how to put together an outfit!

Finding a babysitter online is another convenient, safe way to find a sitter. Access detailed characteristics with pictures, experience, availability and more.

Thanks, @Candi for setting up a Google Alert for the the word "babysitter." I'm sure you're spammy "comment' will result in awesome, highly-qualified click-throughs.

You have to keep her in the fold so she can keep your children fashionable when they get a bit older.
