Dear JABBERS: I recently learned that there are nannies in New York City who earn $200,000 per year! (I am soooo in the wrong business.) Although most of us pay a small fraction of this salary for household help, there is undoubtedly a competitive market for quality of life here in Miami, where busy parents work as hard to juggle social, personal and professionalHoushold Help schedules as they do to earn the living necessary to accommodate them. If you're desperately seeking a Mandarin-speaking Mary Poppins who excels in the art of toddler negotiations, your ah-mazing housekeeper who has a passion for spit-shining and organic cooking, or a Saturday night sitter who can come on short notice, be sure and check out our JAB Household Help page. It's FREE, fast, and best of all, great help is just a personal referral away. Just click  HERE!

Happy Helping and Happy JABBING!

 - Boo

Forgotten Faces of India by Jeanette Denkerova
Recommended By: Ashley SchutzJAB Summer Reading
I was thrilled when JABBER Jeanette Denkerova offered to send me the book she wrote about her experiences volunteering at an Indian orphanage. Her story was more inspiring than I ever could have imagined: growing up in the Czech Republic, Jeanette was an international model who always felt she had a higher calling. In the midst of a tragic family health crisis, she set off to India and was transported to a totally different world. She's lived in Boca Raton for the past 15 years and is currently studying for a doctoral degree in Psychology. Proceeds from her book go back to the Indian orphanage to which she has dedicated so much of her time, money and passion. Order HERE.
