Introduction

I’ve been in the childcare business for 8 years—I can’t believe it’s been that long—and it’s always been something I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I started out working in the nursery at church just once a month, until eventually at 14 years old I had my own Sunday school class. Sometimes things ran smoothly, and of course, other times I was driving myself crazy trying to teach fifteen 5-6 year old's. (Alone, I might add.) Sadly, I had to leave my hometown to pursue further education. Now, I'm in my 2nd year of college and scored an awesome job being a nanny for a family in the town that I currently live in. Life is great, but things can always get a little crazy when taking care of a child that 1. isn't mine, and 2. I have to be with for more than a couple of hours at a time. Hopefully, this job will teach me some valuable lessons that will make me better at dealing with people, young and old.

What I hope people get out of this blog, is that being a babysitter/nanny/mom is a tough job that has its ups and downs. A job that is most rewarding, but can make you want to pull your hair out. With that being said, I hope you enjoy my stories, both the funny and exciting, and the mundane.

This is life,
