Screaming child in the seat next to me to start the post-holiday week ☹️

I have a new babysitter/mother’s helper. she is a college student and i’m trying to figure out what to tell her to do when baby naps (often for two hours). she has a long break in between but my day with her lacks structure , so basically she is watching my child and they play the whole day. I will start asking her to prepare meals for him but trying to figure out how to go about this. i’m so un domesticated.

Leaving my job but waiting for background check to clear. With the holidays and all, should I give my manager a heads up that I got a job? 1. I don’t know when the background check will be finished. I’ve heard 4-10 days but...covid. 2. New job wants me to start 1/4. I’m trying to give two weeks. But... Christmas holiday and New Years?? Arghh idk. What are your thoughts

Wondering thoughts on buying right now. I feel like homes are overpriced and buyers are paying way more than the price on a bidding war. My thoughts are to sell my current home to make a ton of $$ in a sellers market. Rent something for a year or so until it becomes a buyers market and prices drop. Then buy a home for a lot less than I would have paid for it today. Does anyone have thoughts on this?
