I'm sorry it seems to have been three weeks since my last blog post but I thought I'd fill you in on why I've been so busy lately. Since the job search isn't going as expected, I've had to turn to other things to keep me occupied and help supplement my income. One of those things is babysitting. I have met two families up here that I've been asked to sit for. One is a young couple that live walking distance from me and they have a 7 month old little girl. She might be the most precious thing I have ever seen and I'm pretty much in love with her. I've also been sitting for a family with a 16 month old girl on the Upper East Side. I do three days back to back so I'm pretty much exhausted by the time I am through. I'm glad to be staying busy and I really enjoy working with both families. I have also been continuing to work as a temporary personal assistant to the VP of Glocap Search, a temp agency I went through to try and find some work. I've really been enjoying the recruiting aspect of the job and its been helpful to learn some new skills for my resume. Probably the strangest thing I've done has been foot modeling. Yes, that's right, I said foot modeling. I found out through a friend on twitter (yes, the power of social media is pretty powerful) that a friend was looking for a size 7 foot to model his shoes. He is a rep for two different high end designers. I met with him and tried on some samples and it was a perfect fit (pun intended)! I had my first appointment with a client a week or so ago. I got to try on all sorts of heels and have my foot photographed in them while the buyer decided which shoes to add to her collection for next fall. It was definitely one of the most interesting things I've done in New York and its funny what opportunities might arise when you are open to them.
