Last
summer, I was a nanny for the cutest little two-year-old on the face of the
planet. I mentioned her here and began to refer to her The Kid, or The Kiddo. Toward the
end of my time with them, The Mom told me that they were looking into buying a
house on Staten Island with a basement apartment for a live-in nanny. While
they knew this would be a pretty big change for me, they wanted to offer me the
position because The Kid and I got along so well. So I prayed about it and
talked about with my family. While I knew I could make more using my degree in
the public school, a position was not guaranteed, and I did love The Kid quite
a bit. After a few months in which The Family interviewed another nanny and I
completed most of my student teaching, they offered me the position and I
accepted. So, the day after officially finishing my college coursework, I moved
into my new apartment, and two days after, I started my new job.
I've been
here three months now, and I can officially say I LOVE my job. The Kid is
brilliant, hysterical, and adorable. And I'm only a little biased ;)
Considering most of my time is spent with this wee one, she'll probably provide
me with a lot of the material for this here blog. So I thought I should
introduce her. If you're friends with me on Facebook, you already know A LOT about The Kid. Hopefully, I'll be able to share some of the longer funny stories on here. For obvious reasons, her picture won't appear here, but I'll
tell you a bit her. She'll be three in June, she loves singing, dancing,
Disney, swimming, and Adele. So we spend our days singing, dancing (to Adele),
watching/reading/playing/dancing to Disney, and talking about when it will be
warm enough to go swimming. We're also working on learning our alphabet and
counting. Have I mentioned she's brilliant?
I may not post pictures of her, but I can post pictures of what she does to me, or in this case, makes me wear. |
Apparently, the green St. Paddy's Day shades weren't enough. We had to add the bunny ears. |
Sincerely,
