My husband’s dentist and long time friend Dr. Ted Bernete in Westchester

years and have been very satisfied.
He is fast, gentle and thorough. Both him and
his staff are very professional and attentive. As a bonus they

The
Penthouse at the Huntley Hotel is very nice. It is an upscale beach front

and the food is excellent. I just had a
birthday party there last month for my husband. Lauren Ghani

reservations and she is very nice. See website below and look at virtual tour of

I have found the gem of a life -- a mature, responsible, kind, sweet, reliable
babysitter.
Her name is Sandra (323/240-9033), 39, mother of 3 (17, 15,11).
She has started babysitting for me
part time and needs more work. I'm willing to
be
flexible with her hours with me because I need her so badly but
just
can't swing having her full time. Yet, I know she needs to make more money.
She is from El Salvador yet speaks
fluent English. However, I'm having
her only speak Spanish to my 4 month old. Hey can't learn too early right? Let
me
know if any one would like to try her. She has a very reliable car and I
have let her take Matthew out and about. (Karen
Wilson 310/925-2849)

Financial
Advisors
Our very own Stacey
Gordon.
I don't know if many
of the Mochas know she's an excellent Financial and Insurance Advisor. I met
with her and I was really impressed with her knowledge on health, disability and life insurance and planning for retirement. She helped us a great deal.
I think during this
economic slow down it's important us moms get our house in order.
