Not sure how it could all work, and it would to be someone trained with difficult kids.
Maybe a grad student studying Mac stuff? You could be credit.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aw, thanks Steph. I'm still kinda amazed I do this shit. A couple years ago, my weekends were pretty aimless, and I could barely get the basics done in the time allotted. Now? I am still startled at the shit that gets done. I can see how it would be infinitely more complicated moving into an already existing... existence. I suspect part of my motivation is sheer greedy MINEMINEMINE.

I could probably swing it, I would just need to identify us as a special needs situation and interview any potential matches.
Yeah, what Trudy said--maybe a student who was studying that kind of thing? Of course, I could see someone wanting to be studying and then not live it, but who knows. There's gotta be a way.
I am so embarrassed--I am on a board, and there was supposed to be a conference call tonight (we have one once a month). The chair couldn't make it, and I volunteered to run the meeting. Only a few of us could make it, and we talked about canceling it, but didn't...but then I completely FORGOT, and blew off the meeting, and an HOUR AFTER, opened up my email to some questions of "um, are we having a meeting?" SHIT. And it's not like I was even doing anything--just sitting around watching TV and reading. I just didn't realize what time it was, and/or connect that with the meeting (and my phone was in the other room and I didn't hear it go "beep! meeting!")

If you want to go the au pair route I can also get you the name of my sister's agency; she had really good luck over the years. Heck, one of the two people I was visiting in Toronto was her first au pair, originally from Brazil.

If you're offering room and board, you might contact/put up ads at the local college -- I'd go with the education department, psych dept, counseling area, career center.

Random: I bought one of Target's Method line cleaning products. It is supposed to be lemon verbena. It is overwhelmingly oregano. Which isn't bad, just so NOT lemon verbena (I know because I have some.)
