Just nu så sitter jag vid min fasters nya laptop i Kinna och försöker skriva. Jag tycker att det går bra. Min bror hade lite svårt att styra musen, eftersom det inte är någon man håller i handen, utan den sitter fast i datorn och man styr den genom att röra en metallplatta med fingrarna. Jag tycker att det går bra.Annars så sitter jag just nu och planerar för mina kommande projekt som jag hoppas att jag får i hamn ganska snart. Det ser ut som jag kommer att få en del invisterare till en del projekt som jag kommer att starta. På den fronten ser det bra ut. Jag tror att jag kommer att få mycket pengar på dessa projekt. Jag hoppas det i alla fall. Nu så ska vi till farmor.Vi hörs!
Pet sitting is a booming business, offering convenience, peace of mind, and a way for on-the-go pet owners to keep their pets happy and comfortable in their own home. However, because there are no industry regulations, it is imperative that pet owners thoroughly research their options before hiring someone to care for their pets. With [...]
At first there were nanny cams. Now parents can look to sites like I Saw Your Nanny to make sure their nanny isn’t behaving badly. Reading about nanny sightings–tales of good and bad–is incredibly eye opening…even emotionally grueling.
As helpful as gadgets and technology can be in evaluating the trustworthiness of a babysitter, [...]

Is there no justice?The wheels of justice grind slowly, but somewhere in Minnesota, a pig sitter still is free.Back in November 2007, a a pet pig, whose weight had tripled under the care of pig sitter, Mary Beesecker, was placed on a diet and Beesecker charged with an animal cruelty violation.Try as we could, and with the resources of the Internet at our fingertips, no news of whether Besecker ever faced Minnesota justice in this tale of porky porker woe.The 5-year-old animal, Alaina Templeton, part potbellied pig, has lost 10 percent of her 150 pounds and is recovering well from surgery to remove a collar that had become embedded in her overly fat neck, owner Michelle Schmitz said.The sitter was apparently neglecting Alaina and let the pig roam outdoors, free to chomp on cat food and chi
Leaving your dog or cat at home for extended periods of time while you're traveling can be trying for both you and your pet. You don't want to inconvenience your friends or family members by asking them to care for your pet while you're gone. You could board her at the vet, but that is also stressful for her. And you worry about the exposure to the other animals that are sick. An in-home pet sitter seems like the perfect solution. However, you may not know how to go about finding one.A good place to start looking for a sitter is the International Locator on the Pet Sitters International website. If you submit your zip code (or your country if you live outside of the US), you will get a list of pet care providers in your area. You can also specify the kind of pet you need care for and the t
In this day and age, the reality is that you cannot personally spend all of your time directly and personally caring for your baby. It is likely that you will have other commitments that will require you to spend some time away from home and away from your baby. With that in mind, it might [...]

I just now heard a man say "Yeah, I did a lot of baby sitting last Saturday..."I thought to myself, "So.... you were watching someone else's children and getting paid for it?"No.This is not what he was doing. He was caring for and engaging his own kids on Saturday.See, if you're a teenager looking to make a few bucks on a weeknight watching some kids while their parents are out, then you're baby-sitting.You do not baby-sit your own kids, men. You are as much a parent to them as mom is. Or, if you believe you're not, then you should be. Don't leave them high and dry, dad. They're yours. And it's a privilege.Be grateful for the time you get.

Picture it. It's happy hour. You are at that little hole in the wall just downstairs from your office, brand new Kooba handbag tossed nonchalantly over your shoulder. Sure, you got it 40% off because you read Stiletto Jungle every day (hint, hint), but it still cost the better part of your entire monthly clothing budget. You are ready for your cold cocktail and free nachos. One problem: where do you put your purse?Your options are limited. Do you carry it with you, slung over your shoulder for the next three hours? Do you sit it right in the middle of the table like the prissy girl you pretend not to be? Do you sit your new handbag acquisition on the sticky floor? Nope. None of this is going to work. It's time for a new option.

I can’t even begin to count the number of pet scam emails I get every week from people wanting a pet sitter or dog walker to care for their pet while they travel internationally. Of course they get deleted right away because I’ve seen so many of them. Many pet sitters who have been around long for a while, and have been online long enough, can spot them a mile away. Some of the newer people who are working hard to get their pet sitting or dog walking business off the ground may not realize they’re scams though. Or, as is obvious with some, they are simply so eager to get a new client, they convince themselves ‘this one’ just may be OK.
Here’s one I just got…twice today…

Blix, my mom's German Shepherd, wandered up to our front yard in Florida, near the end of 2002 (or possibly early 2003). He was skinny and hungry and had obviously been abandoned. Of course, we took him in. At the time, Hans Blix was in the news left and right regarding nuclear inspections in Iraq and the fact that he was finding no signs whatsoever of WMDs, despite the Bush Administration's insistance that they were there. We named the dog after him. My mom's house is set up such that the three dogs (she also has a chow and a black lab, also both rescued strays) live in the fenced in back yard, while the cats live in the front yard and/or the house. Recently Blix has decided that he would much rather live with the cats than with his fellow canines, and has learned how to hop the fence. Now he spends most of his time hanging out in the front yard, baby sitting the kitties. He especially enjoys playing with the two kittens, Pewter and Silver.Meanwhile, my mom looks on from her new fr
Sandy Daens, owner of Kritter Sitter in Pleasant View, TN, is a woman I know from a pet sitter email list that we’ve both been on for years. I didn’t realize it until I read the article but she and I started our pet sitting businesses at just about the same time - around 9/11 - not exactly the best time to start a new pet sitting business! Anyway, from what I’ve seen through conversations on the email list, Sandy seems to be extremely intent on providing the absolute best care possible to the pets she is entrusted with. So, if you’re in her area, give her a call if you need pet care.
Sandy also helped me out a bit during the frenzy early on in the pet food recall. (Thank you, Sandy!)
Update: Sandy asked me to let people know she’s in Pleasant View, not Cedar Hill as the article states.
From the Ashland City Times…
The need for reliable pet care while traveling prompted Cedar Hill resident Sandy Daens to start her business, Kritter Sitter.

As pet sitting gains in popularity so do the number of people wanting to jump on the bandwagon and put a “pet sitter for hire” shingle out. Every day it seems there are new pet sitters coming out of the woodwork to give pet owners “the best pet sitting service” ever. What saddens me is that many of these people are just in it because they think it will be a fun job, and an easy way to make money. Unfortunately for them, and for their clients, they do not take the time to learn about the responsibility that comes along with the job. The truth of the matter is that pet sitting can be a tough, tiring, very involved business. Sure, pet sitters get to hang with pets and have a good time, but there’s a heck of a lot more to it than that.

Pet sitters who contract to care for a client’s pets and home when they’re gone are responsible for the health and welfare of that pet’s life. They are the one who

The time had come for us to finally break down and hire a sitter. Snuggle Bug is 2 years and 4 months old and, up until now, he'd never been watched by anyone other than family or very close friends who have children of their own (not to mention that he's a stay-at-home kid). We've been spoiled in that respect, absolutely trusting those who have watched Snuggle Bug and not having to pay any money.The Motivating FactorWhen we signed up for the 10 weeks of PS-MAPP classes that we have to attend each Thursday night from 6-9 p.m., we realized that it would be a tough sell to get a family member or close friend to make that huge of a time commitment for us. So we started asking around to find Snuggle Bug's first babysitter.The ChoiceI didn't realize it'd be so hard to find someone that comes highly recommended and that is available on a consistent basis. We were striking out right and left, until some dear friends of ours mentioned that they had a cousin who was really good with kids

After having numerous friends tell me that the Bumbo Baby Sitter is the best baby product they've bought for their child, I finally decided to give it a try. Kaitlyn isn't use to sitting up on her own, so i think it startled her a bit, but then she really enjoyed it! She sat on the ground close to her 2 year old brother, and watched him play with his blocks. I know she can't wait to start playing with him, she just LOVES watching his every move! The Bumbo Baby Sitter allows her to keep up with her big brother for now, and that definitely keeps her happy! A happy baby means a happy mommy! So, I definitely give it my two thumbs up!!!"The Bumbo Baby Sitter is a revolutionary new concept with world wide patent rights, uniquely designed according to the baby’s posture to seat babies independently in an upright sitting position, from as young as 3 months up to an age of approximately 14 months depending on the individual development of the child, thereby providing a snug and cozy enviro

And you don't want to ask your parents (again!). And you don't really trust that high school kid down the street. Well, it turns out that there is solution. Check out this newsclip from Today Show about a service provided by a company called SitterCity: http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=c184a11a-c6fd-48cb-9939-0231244baa5c&f=00&fg=email www.sittercity.com connects you to a babysitter in your area.
