<Title>seeking sitter for this Friday!</Title>
<Tagline>I need to update my list of student sitters</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello,<br>I haven't employed a sitter on campus in a while, and my list of student sitters is out-of-date. I'm specifically looking for someone who can care for my two-year-old this Friday (8/26) for about 1.5 hours while I'm in a meeting ... but I know I'm down to the wire for scheduling. Even if I'm too late to find someone for this Friday, I'm still interested in updating my list of potential sitters on campus so I'm more ready next time. Does anyone have a list of sitters (students or other folks) on campus that you could recommend? <br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Dawn Biehler<br></div>
