Hello! This is intended to be the part of my blog in which I discuss and share various aspects, stories, and thoughts regarding my second part-time job of being a nanny.
As this is an introductory post, today I will place my stories in context for future entries. Since the end of September, last year, I have served as a Nanny for a family of three. This job was an answer to prayer and one that I will forever be thankful for. I have learned so much from watching these cute little kiddos.
Each Wednesday and Friday I walk up to the white and brick suburban home and I'm greeted by two smiling faces - A, 3yrs, & N, 2yrs (both girls). My greeting from the third, and youngest, H, now about 9 months old and a mean crawling machine, typically comes upon my entry to the home when I see him in his high chair eagerly waiting his next bottle!
My patience for watching these three has been tried and tried, and I've been trained to speak and think more in smaller people ways. I have absolutely toned up and defined the long time flaccid muscles known as "planning" and "structure" as well, but as it with all effectual workouts, their development has not come without some difficulty and strain.
All in all I enjoy these two days of the week. They are fun and will always be marked as a growing experience that, Lord willing, will enable me to one day be a better mom, had I not had this opportunity and experience!
More to come in the weeks ahead!
