Hi -
Please read the message below about a family that has a huge need for some good help.
Patty Loonie has been in a huge battle with cancer for a year. Everytime she seems to be in the
clear a new obstacle comes her way.
If you anyone who might be interested in this job please let me know.

Dear Field Club Friends,
Do you know a very kind, experienced and available AuPair/Nanny/Housekeeper who can
eventually live-in?
Or for an immediate solution, someone who can work from 7-9am and again 3-7pm

weekdays.
Here's the situation:
The Loonie Family on Hemlock Hill Road needs help (until recently they had full time
help.)
Most of you know Patty was being treated for acute leukemia a year ago and had a bone
marrow transplant in July.
After many complications, she was able to leave the hospital at Thanksgiving and was
doing well at home.
Unfortunately, she is now back in the Sloan-Kettering ICU with pneumonia and other
issues.
She has proven to be a real fighter and she will have to be in the hospital again for a while.
Bob has been juggling getting the kids to school, visiting Patty and his office in NYC
before returning each evening to New Canaan.
Parker is in 6th grade at Saxe and Tate in 3rd grade at West.
Their little dog Skipper has been spending most days at my house with Oscar.
My cleaning girls are able to give them a day a week so their heavy cleaning is covered.
The immediate PT helper would be needed from 7-9am to get the kids breakfast and onto
school buses and be there again when they get home at 3pm and help get dinner
going until Bob gets home at 7pm.
(Dinners are currently being brought over by friends and will be through the month, so
cooking dinner probably not necessary)
The live-in will mainly care for the kids, drive, grocery shop and cook, do very light clean-
up (not heavy cleaning) and help Patty when she gets home.
As Bob said to me today, "Whoever it is working here has to GET IT." So far agencies
have not delivered anyone appropriate.
They have a lovely home and are a very positive family despite what they have endured all
year.
With the right helper in their household, Bob and the kids can maintain some semblance of
normalcy and routine as Patty recovers her health and regains her strength.
I'm not blanketing the town with this email, just sending to a few selective close contacts,
so feel free to do the same if you think they can help.
Thanks,
