I'm for sure some of my viewers here in my blog are mothers like me. Who among us wanted to get a job outside our house? For sure most of us. But the hard part is how could we get a job if we have a little ones with us? Now the only option is to put the new born baby into day care or hire a caretaker that could stay within our family. The latter option is the best one especially we concerned so much of our baby's safetiness and health. Now I would like to extend this message to all mothers out there who would like to work outside the house or to mothers who would like to go back to work as soon as possible, if you guys looking for the best caretaker who could provide a home child care you should contact the aupaircare because they offer live-in childcare, they have more flexibility and can care for your children at the times that accommodate your family's schedule.

They only not bathing, feeding your infants but also to help nurture your baby's health growth and encourage language development. So if you are interested you should check their website now and have the best home child care at your convenience!
Press Release:
DEMAND FOR QUALITY INFANT CARE FAR OUTSTRIPS AVAILABLE RESOURCES Despite 55% of U.S. Mothers with Infants In The Workforce, Childcare Providers Offering Specialized Infant Care Services Remain Rare San Francisco, CA, February 26, 2008 – With over half of U.S. mothers of infants employed outside the home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, most must arrange for infant care. Experts agree that the first year in a child’s life is the most critical developmentally and requires a consistent, nurturing caretaker. With maternity leaves as short as twelve weeks, mothers are confronted with leaving their newborns in someone else’s hands. Unfortunately, with limited training for childcare providers and overcrowding in day care centers, what is a mother to do? This month AuPairCare (www.aupaircare.com), a leading au pair agency, will begin offering Infant Specialized Care™, a program that provides families with a trained, live-in au pair who specializes in infant care and development, allowing working parents to provide their babies with consistent care in the comfort and safety of their own homes. Demand for this service clearly exists: Based on a survey sent to 400 AuPairCare host families, almost 2/3 of families with infants currently employing au pairs said they would be interested in an infant qualified and trained au pair if the service were offered and would be willing to pay for the additional training. Infant Specialized Care au pairs receive over 40 hours of infant care training, covering topics, such as feeding, bathing, changing, soothing techniques and safety. Additionally, they receive specialized training in infant stimulation and development, infant massage, infant sign language and certification in Infant First Aid and CPR. This training is complemented by significant hands-on experience working with infants, with each of the Infant Specialized au pairs having at least 400 documented hours of childcare experience with children under the age of two. “Having my au pair specifically trained to care for my baby will help alleviate some of my ‘mommy guilt.’ Just knowing that my baby is being well cared for and challenged developmentally will allow me to stop worrying and focus on my work,” says Kenna Norris, back-to-work mother of a 13-week old baby. “With so many women with infants in the workforce and a clear lack of quality providers catering to this age group, developing a tailored au pair service that offers specialized infant training and experience was a priority for AuPairCare.” said Heidi Woehl, Vice President of AuPairCare. AuPairCare’s Infant Specialized Care program launches this month nationwide. About AuPairCare AuPairCare is a leading au pair agency in the United States providing affordable, live-in au pair childcare. Designated by the U.S. Department of State since 1989 as an official au pair agency, AuPairCare has successfully placed over 30,000 au pairs from 40 countries with caring American families.

Nicole is so funny when I put her to sleep. Since she didn't have her diaper on, she told me to put a diaper too not just only a short pants instead. She pointed hers and saying she wants diaper LOL! She is so funny little girl of mine. Even she is pain the butt sometimes but she is the love of our life. The best daughter I got.

Seemed Nicole is getting hyper right now. It is not that she's been eating sweets but she is so active this time that doesn't want to be settled down and not ready for sleep. It is already past 10 in the evening and here she is very wiggly hehe! When we were at doctor's office today she loves to greet other patients hehe. Such a cutie one!
We have a nice weather today and I'm thankful for that. That means we could do something outside like walking. I might walk with my little girl soon after my work here at home. I wonder hubby would come home a little early this afternoon from work so we also can go out to do something since this is a special day for me. Oh well I will just wait and won't demand this day since it is an allowance week for my family back home, we are late of one day already since the ATM machine yesterday was out of service and we are going to do it today hopefully.
Yes, it still winter time and honestly I'm already tired with the coldness around our area, we used the heater that seemed eating too much electricity because there is no day we turn it off with this kind of season as you know Colorado is always cold and snowy. I guess it is time for change and try this space heaters that the gasheatersonline.com has to offer. This is perfect time for us to use this and save money because we used central heater that cost us a lot. I would love to pass this website to my husband and let him know about this gas heater they offer. I have friends around here in Colorado might they want to check this out too. They are for sure be thankful when they find this website to get the better heater and can save money of using it.
Ugh! I'm still so sleepy right now. As what I have said here that I have been so hooked with kdrama. My! I just couldn't get enough. I always say to hubby I will be in bed in a minute but what the.. my face still facing on the computer and eyes are glued on the drama. This has become my bad habit I guess which it is time for intervention. Now I would like to go to bed, be comfy and sleep peacefully especially the weather isi cold.
Nicole is still in her deep sleep from napping though. She still got fever. I really felt sorry for her because usually she will just play all day long. I must be very careful this time, not to go to the mall often because I believe that's where you gonna get virus of roaming around from sick people you don't know. This morning I also felt bad like having tummy upset but I'm thankful I overcome with it and feeling better.
I finally had my launch for being so lazy going down and make a food in the kitchen. I was not in a good mood this morning since I didn't have a good sleep last night cause my daughter has a fever. Anyway I took her with me and fed her also she needed something solid in her tummy so she will be feeling better real soon. Right now she is taking her nap. From time to time I have to check her temperature and give medicine when it is time.
Our weather is kinda friendly today, it is sunny although not that strong to make the surroundings really warm but seeing the sun shines makes me feel great. How about there you guys? I hope you have a wonderful weather and wonderful day. It is sure to be good roaming around the neighborhood for a walk. Oh well, I will see what I can do later this afternoon.

We planned to go at the mall today but my seems this won't happen because Nicole is in her deep sleep. Whoaahh! I have been waiting for her since 2 hours ago to wake up, then later tonight it is hubby's time to watch the car racing. Hmm, I'm gonna cry to this LOL! Duh if this won't happen today, hepefully tomorrow. Anyway while waiting Nicole to get up I'm also having fun watching krama.
I woke up late this morning. I thought not to get up yet but my little piglet had woke up first so I had to get my butt up too lol! It is just I stayed up late last night watching kdrama. It was such a great one that it turned out sentimental to me. Got misty eyes since the show it could happen in real. Huh! This drama is worth to watch by everyone. I haven't finished watching it yet but I'm still keep going.
What a sad story I have watched tonight at the abc channel I guess, it is a news of this woman as they call her the murderer, she killed her husband and in jail right now and stay up to 23 years. I felt so bad for her because she has her kid that is too small. It must have been so hard of her being away with her little one. It is just that the jury suspecting her for not reporting to the police the incedent had happend that night but instead keeping her husband's body away in his vehicle. I thought she must have shock on tha time and didn't know what to do. What in her mind was to burn him but wasn't able to do it but let the body stayed in the car. I thought there must have been a big reason why she killed him. Anyway I felt sad for the little boy he has to grow up without her mom by his side. How sad. As what hubby said, I guess she didn't get a very expert lawyer to depend her, but what she did was also suspicious for not reporting it immediately if it was really a self defense. Also it took her a long time before she told to the authority and she could have made up some stories when she was ready to face it.
Oh well I thought I just let it out here since I really feel sad about that. As what hubby said I always feel sad for everyone haha! Silly husband!
It is nice of Norma for making my blog more beautiful. She is good at designing so I asked her favor if she can beautify my blog since I thought mine as all so boring before. NE, thanks for taking the time for doing the favor. I owe this to you and hope you will not get tired of me asking a favor from you in the future lol! You are such a nice cousin to me. I love you gwapa! God Bless Your Heart for helping to those who need you!
Tonight I had so much fun driving around. At our first top at T-Mobile to check the blackberry phone I have wanted to get. So hubby let me decide if I wanted to get it or not, when I navigate the keypads it turned me off because they button are so tiny weeny to type them and I was worried might I end up using them for just a while since I easily give up especially the buttons of keypad have no enough distance to each other. So I said to myself to think this over many times before I grab one since it is also costly. I don't want to have any regrets afterwards just like my other phone that was slidekick after using it for a month I gave up because it is tiring of typing the button since it needs to use two thumbs. Anyway we just got out of T-mobile store after I checked it, then headed to the ice cream place. Nicole had so much fun by looking at ice cream flavors and especially when she had her own. She was so noisy that it was delicious lol! People thought that she was just so cute lol! I took picture of her though while having some ice cream, all of us had each but I didn't eat all mine cause I know it will gain me more weight. I gave mine to hubby lol! Then headed to get some bottle of water, then hubby asked me where to go next but I couldn't decide, so I asked him if we can go to his old place he used to lived before. I always having so much fun when we are driving there. The houses are just in awesome design and huge houses. I know and feel that hubby would get sad and upset when we pass through in there but he also does have fun at the same time. Oh well who couldn't miss that place since he's been living there for over 15 years. I guess he just missed his old house and I know there is no way he could get it back. Life must go on! Then after that we headed back home.
I felt good that I woke up late though at almost 10 am. Actually I also stayed up late last night until 12:30 am because my friend was calling me on the phone and we talked for over 2 hours. I didn't line the idea of going to bed late at night but since we rarely talk this time so I just gave in. Anyway sleeping for over 8 hours is enough for me.
