We connected with Kelly via care.com, when we were living in Ann Arbor and looking for a date-night sitter. Embarrassingly, my first email to her opened with "Hi Jessica." But, classy, sassy lady that she is, she didn't criticize or ignore my copy and paste oversight, just responded, "Hi! My name is actually Kelly :) but that sounds awesome!"
After a stutter start (Maizey went to bed at 6:30 p.m. on Kelly's first night - weirdo), it was love. After moving back to Milford we offered to compensate Kelly for mileage if she'd stay on. She agreed. Now, if we mention to Maizey that Kelly's coming, she watches out the window all day. And Lucy, well, this is how Lucy feels about Kelly...
After today, that chest will need some TLC. Sadly, for a while this means no more date nights c/o Kelly. (Though we are trying to talk her into co-sitting with her little sister, who can do the lifting.) But, we will get on her calendar soon, to shower her with all the little lady love that comes with M and L.
