Reckless Nanny Sighting in Glendora, CA

I don't know if this was a nanny or a babysitter! 

Description: I saw Your Nanny...This was a blonde woman of about 19-23, with hair in a pony tail, plain white painter's cap, black tank top, black track shorts with white piping, knee high socks and tennis shoes. Tanned and fit.. She was riding a bike. She was riding what I think is called a beach cruiser, a large, squat black bike with large tires. I didn't see the brand.
Description of Child: bald but possibly some wispy dark hairs, wrapped in a blanket, a receiving style blanket. Unknown if girl or boy, but I would say under 4 months
Incident: I was pushing my stroller past Gladstone this morning when I saw this! I thought she had a hobo sack or satchel. As I got closer, I could see the bicyclist was carrying an infant in her arms as she was riding on Gladstone Street. She was going fast. She had the baby in her left arms, and rode with one hand only. The baby was wrapped in a blanket but I couldn't tell if it was white or cream. I did see a few dark hairs at the top, but this baby was tiny! Why was she riding her bike with a baby? She was going fast.She turned and went South on North Valley Center. I was almost passed the school, so I can't be sure, but I think she turned right on Renwick. It was so scary, after she disappeared from sight, my heart was racing and I looked around for a police officer.
Location: Area of  Gladstone Elementary School.  Glendora, CA.
Time: 7:10 AM, Monday 7:20 AM. Please post immediately!

... "I have non stop Charlie horses in my hamstrings and I'm eating bananas like there's no tomorrow!"

Carolee Clark
  I am on week 2 of a six week vacation at the family's house in a beach town. The area is hyper stylized and I feel out of place most times. Making this worse is that the Mom wants to bike ride everywhere. She has outfits and a floppy hat and a cute bike with a basket. I have a business grey cycle with a carrier trailer on the back which I have one heavy four year old in.

    And she complains that I go to slow and keeps saying things like, "well at least this will get you in shape". She literally has never used the carrier cycle or the hardcore bike with gears. She has a fancy, big tired, beach cruiser. The most she has ever carried in her basket is some pastries!  She likes to bike in to town for breakfast or lunch. I look like a sweaty, disgusting mess.

      I don't know the point of this. It's like she wants everything her way and gives nothing. When she is sitting across the table from me, she grimaces at my sweaty brow and matted hair. The one time I left to go wash my face in the sink, I came back and the 4 year old was at another person's table with his finger in their orange juice and she was on her phone and looked at me like, "Where were you". I cannot do it all. I am completely exhausted.

     The final insult to this injury is that I got paid twice already and didn't say anything but I got paid the exact same amount that I usually get paid.  This morning she said her husband was coming in for the day only today and he would leave my Friday check. I asked her, "do you think I could get some of my overtime on that check so I could go shopping or something in my free time?" She looked at me like I had three heads.  I said, "I don't usually work Saturday and Sunday or such long days, I just assumed..." She wrinkled her nose and said, "Sweetheart, look around you, this is the life, you are in East Hampton." Now it was my turn to look confused. She said, "Clearly you'll get what's coming to you". Now I am not even sure what she meant. Meanwhile I have non stop Charlie horses in my hamstrings and I'm eating bananas like there's no tomorrow!
