I know you said she was coming from overseas...did you request certain requirements, like speak english and willing to work with a child with extra needs?

There is a bit of childcare involved - and she has experience with kids as well. I did let her know though that our current pregnancy may result in a child with special needs - but none of us really know yet exactly all that will entail... I got her reference from a missionary family over here and she's a devoted Christian (which was something I had hoped for) - so she'll fit in with our family's beliefs as well (also a lot of people worry about their helpers doing all kinds of immoral things to get more money and with a devoted Christian, there's less worry of that ;) )Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10147429806244730166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207455552139284342.post-50162859122886463822010-05-13T13:30:21.646+08:002010-05-13T13:30:21.646+08:00which furniture shop was that? i think that's ...which furniture shop was that? i think that's quite good.reeihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00652054663660509684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207455552139284342.post-74190002126564251852010-05-13T13:51:35.154+08:002010-05-13T13:51:35.154+08:00It was "Jade@Home" - they have a few sto...It was "Jade@Home" - they have a few stores over the place - we went to the North Point store on Java Rd, I think their biggest store is in Wan Chai. Even though they made a mistake with the order, I was pretty impressed with their service and the quality of their work and price is pretty good too. I would definitely recommend them. Mistakes can happen with any store, but it's not always that you find a place that is willing to take responsibility for it.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10147429806244730166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207455552139284342.post-44107331478424835962010-05-14T06:25:37.623+08:002010-05-14T06:25:37.623+08:00I hope she fits right in with your family!
