I was just reading this article ” http://www.news-leader.com/article/20091005/OPINIONS/910050318/1006/RSS06″ online and it struck me to share! Domestic violence and child abuse are 2 things in this world I detest more than anything else and although this article is about these apparitions taking place in the United States, I feel it applies world wide.
Both these atrocities can be found rife in South Africa ( with almost 60% of relationships involving some sort of spousal abuse (and that’s the reported stuff), to say that its okay when it isn’t, to ignore this worldwide issue, which spans across all races, religions and classes is to ensure another generation where the issue continues.

This came in from a candidate we interviewed yesterday! Welcome to the team Mia! We are looking forward to finding you the position you are looking for!
Here’s the email:
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for a very positive service. I wish I had discovered sitters4u before I went to other agencies.
The interview really made my day!
Regards
Mia Steenkamp
…thank you for the email, it certainly made my day! It doesnt matter if you are a client or a candidate, either way Great service is our middle name!

So there I was! Working up a storm as usual, the clock had just struck midnight. I thought, why am I working this late?
Today reminded me of what makes Sitters4U different. We started because I could never find the reliable help I needed, when I needed it for my daughter… We started so that when a mother needs to go to her graduation she doesn’t need to worry about whether or not her child will be in safe reliable hands( this happened today, she sounded so nervous yet ecstatic and thanked me for the service). We started because there are 1000’s of candidates out there! Some are people you would never want in your home, some are so over qualified they deserve to have work on a regular basis and can bring the help needed by so many moms and dads out there, we started because this is our Country, our Beautiful country and I believe that any positive contribution to that, whether it is in the form of jobs or growth of other kinds is something we should all be doing!
So today I look at the delicate balance I have created between my daughter, my partner, my clients and the candidates I have met and helped, and I am grateful for the late hours, I am happy to have the luxury so many parents do not, time with their child, I am happy to be able to help other parents get the most out of time they have with their children and I am happy to be helping so many wonderful people find work and jobs they deserve to have and are dedicated to having…Helping feels good! I know I wont always work these long hours but i also know that by putting these values and time into this business that it will flourish….
I firmly believe it, you should do too….Help those that will help themselves and you help so many more!
