Question: Anyone remember a NPR/PRI 'search for a baby sitter' story?

NPR or PRI story- About a year ago, I heard a story in which the narrator was attempting to find his long lost baby sitter- a woman named Susan or Sharon?! It seemed like a TAL type story but I don't believe it was Ira Glass. Sadly I missed the ending and have been searching for it ever since. Has anyone heard of the story?

Are you sure it's not This American Life? This story sounds like it. "Act One. Ich...Bin...Ein...Mophead"

I heard it too. I'm sure it *was* TAL, but now I can't find the episode using their search.
