An actual help wanted for a Nanny

"Spirited 3.5 year old Maggie is looking for a gentle, loving, patient, yet strict and down to earth nanny for after-school and summer fun. Candidate needs to speak good English but will be asked to speak mostly French to Maggie, who currently speaks no French at all. (Mother speaks good French and father understands some, too). Our main goal is to expose Maggie to French language.

Some housekeeping will be required. Drivers license is a must. We live in the beautiful Hamptons, 2 hrs from New York City. The city is easily accessible by train and good quality, non stop bus service.

Wonderful white beaches, ideal for runners / for endless walks on the Atlantic shore. Very peaceful area. Mother is 30, father is in his 60s. Lawyer - art dealer (paintings) couple.

Please provide us with your childrearing philosophy, some pictures and a description of your experience and interests. Looking forward to hearing from you. "

Rescue and Abandon Mission

The streets looked different that night
Lacking a horizon line
Chances that I take
Jumping off burning bridges

Sing Sing Sing
Make the notes that make me sing
Standing tall
All my friends are gone

Down to the pier at the edge of the bay
Strolling hand in hand under the canopy
When I leave the rains come
Getting one over on the universe

When we turn the key.

If we'd had any more we might have lost our heads.
Take one sip for me, and two for us - finding balance in trust.
Dig my claws in for blood and sacrifice.
