Since August, Nora's main babysitter has been Audra Mueller. She is 17 years old and homeschooled, which means her schedule is very flexible.
When I was working 8-12 hours a week this past fall/winter, I dropped Nora off at Audra's house. Audra has a big family, and Nora has enjoyed being with Audra's mom and sister. I went to high school with Audra's older sister, Tessa.
Good babysitters can often be hard to come by and we feel SO blessed to have Audra as part of our lives with Nora. She treats Nora like a little sister, is so patient and caring. She takes Nora on stroller rides (even in cold, snowy weather!) to help get Nora to sleep if necessary. Also, she appreciates the importance of getting Nora outside when the weather permits.
In a month Audra will be heading on a trip with her family and upon her return she is interested in getting a more permanent/real job. We'll miss her dearly. But shes nearby so hopefully we can continue to have her in our lives.
