Loving Soul To Spend Time With Our Daughter Manchester, CT 06042 Occasional (as needed)
Hi there, my daughter will be turning 4 in August. We've never really had a babysitter for her, other than my parents, but I am feeling like it would be really nice to have another person or 2 we could call upon to watch her when we have plans, events, etc that come up. Here's a bit about us: I am an artist & living food chef. I also teach classes and do consults. Her dad does freelance film work, so his schedule is different every week, he is not always here. My daughter is with me most of the time right now. We eat mostly raw, mostly vegetarian, super food-enriched, nutrient-dense diet, food is sacred & we really care about what we put in our bodies. We love to have tea parties, make lots of art, we have a big garden in our front yard, we're very Eco-friendly, pretty crunchy kinda people.. One requirement I have for anyone coming into my home is no chemicals/fragrances, as I am pretty sensitive, no perfumes, scented body care products (aside from natural essential oils), fabric softeners, etc. We use all natural everything. My daughter is a magical little love, she's super independent, intelligent, and knows what she wants and does not want, she has always been that way. She loves art, playing outside, riding her bike, gardening, water, sand, animals, reading, singing, helping. She wants her hands in everything I'm doing. We've practiced attachment parenting with her from the start, so it would be great if you had an understanding of that, we've nursed, co-slept, cloth-diapered, we always wore her in carriers, we are very holistically-minded. We've also been learning about NVC & trying to use that in our communications. Even since before my daughter was born, I've been very attracted to Waldorf education & Rudolf Steiner and it is totally in alignment with our values and passions. I would love to find someone to spend time with her who is really passionate about teaching and guiding in a child-led kind of way, and who maybe knows something about Waldorf-style education, and who is creative, fun and kind. I am really looking for someone who understands our values about food, eco-friendliness, parenting, communicating, etc and preferably is living in a similar way. As far as payment goes, we can pay in $, and I often barter as well sometimes, if that's something you're interested in. Raw foods, etc. Thank you! Blessings & Blissings!
No fatties or weirdos need apply.
Me still wondering if its not a joke!
That could have come from any standard “Parenting for Communists” handbook.
A “super independent” four year old being raised by crunchy green eco-freaks. What can possibly go wrong there? /sarc
There is a certain type of conservative known as a crunchy con—a conservative who eats natural organic food. The use of the word crunchy may be a clue. Notice that they also said they love tea parties.
I kinda doubt these 2 are conservatives,maybe wrong.
Also doubt if the tea parties are the same as what we refer to here at FR
>>teaching and guiding in a child-led kind of way<<
Children don’t lead anything - that’s why they’re children, and that’s why they have parents.
This kid’s going to be an absolute terror once it gets a little older, having spent the first 4 years “leading” the parents.
As opposed to the certain type of conservative known as a sick con - a conservative who has grown fat, diabetic and sick from eating canned crap and GM dead food.
Decisions, decisions.
