| Message From Kim
Spring has been ushered out and summer welcomed in; the lazy days of summer are here...or so I thought! However, as each week holds different activities all their own (and sometimes all over town!).
One constant many of our families appreciate is the support of our nannies. If you do not have a family yet, we want to make that type of connection for you with a great position and kids who will develop a big smile and usher a cry of delight from at the mere mention of your name! Whatever type of placement you are seeking, we can find that position which is the perfect fit for you- call an MBF placement counselor today!

Pet Rocks
Pet rocks are a fun way to express your creativity and your  own personal style. Whether it's a cute animal or a creepy creature, this pet rocks craft for kids is lots of fun and has no limits! What you'll need: Rock
Acrylic craft paint
Suggestion decorations: yarn, wiggle eyes, markers, glitter glue, sequins, beads, pom poms, etc
White craft glue
How to make it:
Start by washing your rock with warm soapy water. If your rock is jagged or has nooks and crannies, use a scrub brush to get all the dirt out.
Decorate your rocks however you like using just about anything. If it will stick, use it!
To make our Pet Rock Piggie, paint a smooth oval shaped stone with pink acrylic paint and let dry.
Glue a pink button to the center of the rock and two miniature pink pom poms toward the top for ears.
Use the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in white paint to create the whites of the eyes. After that dries repeat the process with black paint to add the blacks of the eyes.
Add a little red paint to the pink paint in your palette and dip your finger in. Dab off excess and put a spot on either side of the "nose" as the rosy cheeks.
Use a black fine tipped marker to dot on freckles.
Tips:
Use your imagination; match your pet rock colors to your room or school colors.
Cut ears out of felt to make a floppy eared puppy dog!
Pet rocks are great for paperweights, so these make a great addition to your homework desk.
