Valentine's Day Edition
Plan ahead for babysitters
If you have children, planning the perfect Valentine's Day celebration also means finding the best babysitter. That’s where DIAL-AN-ANGEL can help you. We specialise in finding quality carers for your children because we understand that your children are your greatest treasures. We take real pride in thoroughly screening and personally interviewing applicants who wish to become Angels. Every applicant is interviewed personally and where State laws allow, Police clearances and 'Working with Children' Checks are undertaken. You can relax and enjoy yourself knowing your children are in safe and caring hands. But don’t leave it too late - call us now on 1300 721 111 or make a booking request here.
Love is in the air for parents!
Busy parents everywhere know how difficult it can be to find time to themselves, so the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour has devised an Angels to the Rescue package that includes overnight accommodation for two adults and 2 children, four hours of babysitting by DIAL-AN-ANGEL and a baby kit including a cot, wipes, nappies and more. For older children there is a special gift upon check-in, a book of vouchers for discounted family attractions and free breakfast when dining with their parents.
The package means you can enjoy family time away together and then mum and dad can slip off for a few hours to enjoy a romantic meal in peace, knowing the children are safe upstairs in the room. There is even a free drinks voucher for mum and dad to ensure they are truly relaxed before dinner. The whole package is priced from $333 and is valid until 30 December 2009. You can have Valentine's Day on any day you choose!
For bookings phone 02 9288 7180 or visit Novotel Darling Harbour
Need a gift idea?
Why not surprise your loved one with some “me-time”. It can be hard to think of a gift idea so soon after Christmas, but the one thing everyone can use is a little more time for themselves. DIAL-AN-ANGEL Gift Vouchers are the perfect way to solve those difficult gift decisions. Vouchers can be redeemed for any of the services that DIAL AN ANGEL provides such as housekeeping & cleaning, home & garden maintenance, childcare & babysitting, care by nannies, pet care and caretaking. They can be for a specific service or for a dollar amount. Order one today!

Interesting fact about Australian men!
Surveys reveal that men in Australia are more romantic and open about expressing their love as compared to Australian women. Men in Australia buy more cards than women do!
Valentine's Day Superstitions
It is said that the kind of bird a girl watches on Valentine's Day predicts her future husband. For instance:
Sparrow: a poor man
Owl: remain spinster
Bluebird: a happy man
Blackbird: a priest or clergyman
Crossbill: an argumentative man
• If an apple is cut in half, the number of seeds found inside the fruit will indicate the number of children that individual will have.
• To be awoken by a kiss on Valentine's Day is considered lucky.
• On Valentine's Day, the first guy's name you read in the paper or hear on the TV or radio will be the name of the man you will marry.
• If you see a squirrel on Valentine's Day, you will marry a cheapskate who will hoard all your money.
• If you see a goldfinch on Valentine's Day, you will marry a millionaire.
• If you see a robin on Valentine's Day, you will marry a crime fighter - maybe they mean Batman!
• If you see a flock of doves on Valentine's Day, you will have a happy, peaceful marriage.
• If you find a glove on the road on Valentine's Day, your future beloved will have the other missing glove. |

Welcome
Happy New Year! We hope that the festive season allowed you time to be with family and friends, and gave you the opportunity for a little relaxation as well.
With children back to school and the race to get back into work mode, it is easy to forget about the little things that make relationships special. Valentine’s Day is on its way so we have come up with a few ideas for you and your loved ones to make the day and night special!
PS: Don’t leave it until the last minute to organise your before and after school care. These carers are in high demand and you need to make sure that your children are well cared for, especially if they are starting school or transitioning to a new school. And remember, if your childcare arrangements have fallen apart we can also provide emergency as well as regular care. All it takes is one simple call to 1300 721 111.
Until next time,
Danielle Robertson
CEO, DIAL-AN-ANGEL Pty Limited |
