after an extensive search (and the only person who actually met our criteria) jason and i have found a babysitter for cashel. she is a tulane university student (catherine a.k.a."cooper") home for the summer and while she hasn't yet sat for us, i have a good feeling about her....
and i'll actually be here when she sits refreshing my memory/learning physics for my upcoming jaunt into private school education where parents-pay-bookoos-of-$-to-send-their-child-to-this-school-so-the-teacher-better-know-what-the-heck-she-is-teaching! anyhoo...she came over to meet us last saturday and cash was nothing but smiles for her. what a charmer. before she left i had this conversation with her:
robin: so i know your rate is a range. what are you looking for for this job?
cooper: oh, yeah, i don't know...i normally get $10.00 an hour.
robin: oh...we'll pay you more than that!
cooper: oh...ok.
robin: we'll why don't we both think about it and we'll decide later.
cooper: oh...ok.
after she left, jason called us both "master negotiators."
