Getting to Know JAB
Dear JABBERS:
Ever wonder about your fellow JABBERS? We thought you might. So we decided to select a few JABBERS to join an Advisory Board to help make JAB even better. We would like to introduce you to one of those special people this week:
 | The Sheeran Family |
For many of you, Sheila Sheeran may be a familiar face. Sheila has made Ft. Lauderdale her home since age 6. She is an active mother, yoga enthusiast, dedicated volunteer, and loving wife to husband Jack and their four children: Evie 7, Suzie 5 and two year-old twins, Jack and Bridget. Sheila has many passions, but one she holds dear to her heart is The March of Dimes. Sheila became involved with March of Dimes after her pregnancy with her youngest children. Pregnant with triplets, Sheila carried the babies to 27 weeks and 5 days, and delivered all three. Tragically, daughter Lindsey Kate died shortly after birth. Twins Jack and Bridget survived. Jack was 2lbs, 5oz at birth, and Bridget was 1lb, 7oz. The family spent a grueling 4 months, while both babies were in the hospital, managing their care and the needs of

their older children. Happily, they are now healthy, thriving 2 year-olds. Wanting to honor both her daughter Lindsey Kate's memory and the good health of her twins, Sheila and her family turned to The March of Dimes.The March of Dimes funds research which is critical to the survival of pre-mature infants. The family organized a team for the Annual Walk, and in their first year, they broke records by raising $15,000.
In honor of Sheila and her family, JAB Ft. Lauderdale will make a gift to the March of Dimes Walk this year. We are honored to know Sheila and to welcome her as part of our Advisory Board.
Happy JABBING!
--Courtney Stanford, Ft. Lauderdale Editor

Looking For Nanny
From Bianca Bordes: REPLY
My family is still looking for a part-time Nanny to care for our 9 month old daughter. We live in the East Pompano Beach/North Ft. Lauderdale area and need someone with their own transportation. We also prefer someone that doesn't live too far away. If anyone knows of a caring, loving and trustworthy Nanny with references, please pass along their information. Thanks in advance! It's been so difficult finding just the right person.
Loving Nanny Available
From Ceci Salow: REPLY
Lorena has cared for our 2 girls (now 9 & 3 yrs. old) for 5 &1/2 years. As our girls are growing our needs have changed and we no longer need a full-time nanny. We're sad to see her go but wish to help her find work with another nice family. Lorena is attentive, cautious, kind w/ children, honest, responsible and punctual. Our 3 year- old loves to play with her. She is legal, has her own car, and speaks some English, but mostly Spanish. She is looking for a full-time, live-out nanny position and is available immediately. Please call Lorena at (786) 419-0427.
