First post here I go!

So I was writing my facebook status and it was extremely long and Jill told me awhile ago that I should start a blog, I asked her what I would do a blog about and she said it could be on anything so here I go. My life as a nanny!
First off I am a nanny of 6 kids two families so never all of them at once. I nanny for 2 sisters Jennifer and Jill. I live at Jill's house and watch her kids at night when she works and watch Jennifer's kids during the day. Jill has two daughters, Lyndsey and Reilly. Jennifer has 2 sons Connor and Brayden plus 2 daughters Shaylen and Avery.
The thing that actually got me to start a blog was my mile long facebook status update today so I am going to copy and paste that.

 

wow this whole taking care of kids thing around the clock is tough... definitely an eye opener. It is the funnest job I have ever had but at the same time the past couple nights I go to bed with tired feet (I hate flat feet they make things so much more miserable grr) and completely exhausted.

It's definitely one of those things that no one really understands until they have to do it I've decided. No one can appreciate it unless they have been through it or even tried it. I don't even understand it all but man I really appreciate parents so much more!! Best job ever though because then there are the moments when you are walking through the grocery store and one of the boys walks up to you and gives you a great big hug and just wants to hold your hand. I love it!




To make a little bit more sense of what I'm talking about Jennifer and Jason are in New York the little girls are with their grandparents and I get to watch the boys. I have been with them since 6:30 Wednesday morning and will be until Sunday night. So far so good :) they are so sweet. All the kids I nanny for are the sweetest! Reilly coming in and already after being here a total of 3 weeks has given me about a million pictures she has colored for me I love it so much and have kept them all. Connor the first time we ever met came and gave me a huge hug making me feel so welcome! Brayden loves to cuddle and we took a nap the other day cuddling and watching Bob the Builder. Lyndsey loves to help out and talk about things that we like to do. She is old enough to start getting into good conversation with. Shaylen is such a happy baby for teething way bad the amount of times she has actually cried I can count on my hands she is so sweet. Avery is the size of a newborn when she is almost 6 months but when you start to talk to her she gives you the cutest little smile she also loves to rub her face when she is trying to sleep, so precious.


I love this job and think it will be a year that will always stick out in my memory. I have made life long friends with these amazing people and get the opportunity to work with them and be a friend as well as a nanny. Who could ask for more? It already has been a life changing experience. It is so rewarding and full of surprises.

Pictures in order are first Shaylen. Second from left to right Reilly, Lyndsey, Me, Brayden, Connor. Third me and Jill. Fourth me and Connor. Fifth Me and Brayden. Sixth me and Lyndsey, Seventh me and Reilly. Eight and last Avery.
