The Perfect Combination
From Debbie Searcy: REPLY
We are looking for a housekeeper for two-and-a-half days per week who would also occasionally babysit our daughter. We are not looking for a nanny but rather someone whose primary job would be to clean the house, do laundry, including ironing, and babysit one night per week. The ideal person does not need to speak English but must have reliable transportation. If you know anyone you could recommend, please contact me. We live in North Palm Beach. Thank you!

A Different Combination
I am looking for an English-speaking person to take care of my pets and do housekeeping for five to six hours per day, three times per week while my husband and I are at work. If you have anyone you can refer, please send me their contact information. I live in Parkland. Thanks!

La Vida BocaFrom Barbara Reich: REPLY When I visit Florida I usually stay in Boca, and I am always on the lookout for great new restaurants and spas. Any recommendations are welcome! Thank you!

Home Sweet Home
From Priscilla Thomas: REPLY
The lease to the condo I am renting in Boca with my five-year-old ends in May and I would love to find a new place to live. While I would like to stay in Boca, I am also willing to relocate to Wellington or Palm Beach Gardens. I am looking for a two bedroom cottage or guest house in a safe neighborhood with a washer and dryer in one of these cities. My child is currently in a gifted program so I would prefer to rent in a location that is near a school that also has a gifted program. I do not have any pets. If you are renting a place or know someone who is, please contact me. Thanks in advance!

Well Polished in Spring
From Team JAB
 Don't let all that spring cleaning and organizing wreak havoc on your nails! Make sure you reward yourself for all that hard work! According to Harper's Bazarr, dark polish like OPI's Suzi Skis in Pyrenees and Essie's Licorice are still perfect for spring, but light shades, like Essie's Picket Fence and Blanc, will also be timeless. So get organizing JABBERS and then treat yourself to a fabulous manicure. And, if you are wondering where to get the best one, you know where to find out (psst ... HERE).
