The Perks Of Being A Nanny

Here I am, on this lonely Tuesday night, baby sitting. Or am I? The kids are asleep and me? Well, I have the house to my self. Or should I say kitchen. SCORE! Although at times it is tough having to break up fights between 7 year old twins, or deal with a sassy 6 year old telling me not to burn her french toast, the rewards are worth it.

1st, I make big bucks. I don't think I deserve my pay wage, but every body I sit for lives up by the capital so clearly, they can afford it.

2nd, both people have an ever stocked kitchen. In fact one woman has her own bakery and has me try her goodies as a favor. Don't pull my arm too much now please!

3rd, kids love to do what I love to do. I may have suffered one or two sun burns from doing a lemonade stand too long but over all I get to watch movies and play board games all day. Sounds good to me!

I guess what I am trying to say is, I like my job. This is where this post gets cheesy.
My favorite part about the job however is getting close with my little cadets. I see them so often that I think of them even when I am not with them! Just hoping they are doing alright. I will definitely miss them while I am gone, but will be happy to return to them in the summer. I was helping one of my kids today with his school play (which he scored the lead role in, atta boy James!!!) and was surprised at how bummed I was I realized I would be out of town the day they perform it. You don't really realize how much love you have for these kids until you sit down and think about it (you especially don't realize it when they are yelling and fighting,) but at the end of the day I think I am pretty blessed to be where I am and get to know the people I have come to cherish because of this job.
