At any rate, how likely is it that Snooty McSnooterson is going to put her own Craigslist ad online? They have nanny agencies out there for a reason, as in not having to do any heavy lifting to actually, you know, investigate the person who is going to be taking charge of your nearest and dearest.

The nice girls working just let me take an hour long nap while they played with the kids.
Cash, that's probably a very healthy thing for you to do. Yay nap!
