The lovely jess

Jess has been out babysitter since the youngest was a baby. She's the sort of babysitter that you come home too after a night out and the kids are asleep with a smile on their face , the kitchen is clean and some washing is folded. Everyone is happy! We are incredibly lucky that she agreed to come with us. She has a lovely boyfriend a great job and she was willing to give that up to join us. Having her along is wonderful for so many reasons. We can go out for non child friendly dinners where we don't have to look for French fries on the menu. We can go on shopping expeditions without dragging the kids along and I don't have to yell at them to tidy their room - it's Jess telling them to pick up their things. The other great thing is when we are a busy crowd we can have one adult to one child. No one gets lost. The kids absolutely adore her for the youngest jess is his first  love (not so keen on her boyfriend) the middle child loves the fact that she listens to all her stories and laughs at her jokes and the oldest views her as a friend (someone to paint her nails with).  She certainly has bought a different feel to the trip I am no longer invisible when I'm with her. The waiter at the Capri hotel couldn't do enough to help her, coffee tea drink .... Always attentive. Get lots of bornjournos on our motning runs from the older Italian  gentlemen. We often get comments about our large family and what a beautiful family it is. yes I'd be proud to call jess one of my own.
