Help Wanted: Part Time Nanny

So, with Molly here for this last week (which was a fantastic surprise and a TON of help--thanks, Molly, since I know you'll read this eventually), I've come to appreciate the value of having a live-in nanny. To be honest, I'm not sure how people do without them. I know that I don't want to do without on anymore, so here is the official help wanted request that I plan to post--possibly on Craigslist, since I'm not against the prospects of hiring a stalker or a serial killer if that person proves to be a reliable nanny option.

Wanted, nighttime nanny. Position is somewhat flexible in that you can live your own life elsewhere during the day then spend the entire night watching over our children so we can sleep, OR you can live in our "spacious" closet under our stairs during the day, and take care of the kids overnight. You can pretend you are Harry Potter, if you like. Though, honestly, I think Harry's closet had more room than this one does. Applicant must be female and fall solidly into the attractive category (brunettes are preferred, sorry blondes). Applicant is welcome to walk around the house naked. We are very open minded about that type of thing. Unfortunately, we cannot offer to pay anything at this time, but you CAN help yourself to any food that we have in our fridge. So, if you're a hottie who's looking for some free room and board, sort of, in exchange for feeding our baby at night so that we can sleep, let us know!

What do you think? Is it a winner?

Seriously, though, how ridiculous is it that it takes THREE people to raise a 10 pound baby in such a way that everyone involved gets enough sleep to not be crazy? Frankly, I'm amazed that we've survived this long as a species. Our young are useless for SO long. Baby animals can run and feed themselves in just a day or so, for gods' sake, how have we fallen so far? Think about it.
