I would love some support and light. Two years ago I left an abusive husband- he has been watching our two girls in the morning but too many incidents have happened: most recently threatening my 6 year old he would hurt her if she didn’t do well on her spelling test. I am searching for a morning nanny to help us have a good start to our days as this was the last straw. Despite posting everywhere I’ve had no luck. So any light you could send our way is welcome and appreciated.
He looks so miserable.
I’ve had to endure the deaths of over a dozen dogs and cats. We have spent thousands on some and have been trying to learn when to let go. It’s never easy.

@jaidy I will send energy your way. And I want you to do some serious visualizing.
I had a serious nanny problem when my kids were toddlers. I went through about eight bad nanny situations, some really bad. I couldn't afford to just call an agency and pay those rates. I needed an affordable situation that was also the best for my kids.
So I began visualizing the perfect wonderful loving nanny for a 20 hours/wk sit. I visualizied with a lot of focus and at least once/day for about a week. Visualizing what I want has served me well.
A few weeks later I was taking my children to the local high school where they had a little daycare center for the high school kids to practice childcare, and I saw a girl on the steps who just caught my eye. I asked her if she would babysit for us every day after school. I told her I needed her everyday, could not split the job among two kids, because my 2 year old son (a Taurus) would not tolerate two different nannies.
She said she couldn't do it every day because high school kids are too busy with other things but she had an identical twin sister who she could job share with. My son thought they were one person. He loved his nanny twins. They were wonderful and have become life long friends.
I will send you energy, but do visualize your nanny --reliable, good for your kids, affordable, good for you.
@laura F My heart aches for you, dear friend. It is so hard to go through a beloved pet's illness and death. He looks so beautiful. It has been seven months since I put down my fur baby and not a day goes by that I don't feel it and pray she knows how much we love and miss her. Your baby knows how much you loved him.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I am also grateful that his suffering in total was less than 36 hours. He was fine, until he wasn't.
And today's fun "woo-woo" fact: My prior marmalade cat was put to sleep on the same date in 2008 (Feb. 15), right before Arlo would have been born (May 2008). One of my spirit guides actually reminded me (yes, this guide knew both cats).
We're not going to replace Arlo for now, Tess is also not well and the vet bills are staggering. She turns 12 in April, hoping we can get her to at least 15 with good quality of life.
As for my cough, the antibiotics have kicked in and my asthma is greatly reduced already and I'm not having coughing fits.
I'm still recovering from this past overall crappy week, but I'm hoping to be able to meditate and return some love and light to you all soon. (Before Mercury retrograde fully kicks in, lol)
@jaidy, it sounds like it's been quite a challenging time for you. I really like Jeanne's visualization suggestion. I pray that you be divinely guided in your search for a nanny, and I'm holding you and your children in the light.
Have you ever looked into au pairs? Maybe an au pair goes beyond your morning needs, plus you're usually expected to provide room and board unless you live very close to a college campus. But maybe your search will be more fruitful if you look beyond the traditional nanny route.
