An Open Letter To My Nanny Kids

You guys have no clue how much y'all mean to me.

An Open Letter To My Nanny Kids
Carly Bandy

To my wonderful kids that I nanny,

Who knew that when I took this job that you all would end up making such an impact on my life? Seriously though, I didn't even think about all the good that could come from spending the majority of my time with you guys. I don't tell you guys enough how much I love y'all and how much y'all actually mean to me so I figured it was about time.

Every single day you guys get in the car with a smile on your face and a story to tell. You confide in me, ask me for advice and tell me all the gossip of your grade. I never thought that I would enjoy hearing so much about elementary, middle and high school, until now. I look forward to the moments that we spend together in the car talking about boys, the drama and everything else going on in your lives. Not only does it give me a good laugh but an opportunity to share insight and wisdom.

Who knew that this job wouldn't actually feel like work because I would end up loving y'all so much? You three are like younger siblings to me and I love you all so dearly. You have taught me so much about life and what it means to be a positive role model.

I spend the majority of my days with y'all and it don't mind it at all. You've become some of my best friends. I tell y'all just about everything and you're mature enough to understand. You have my back when boys are dumb and always find a way to make me feel like a million bucks. Who would have thought that my nanny kids would be able to do that for me? Y'all love me unconditionally and accept me for my goofy self.

Long story short -- I love y'all more than y'all will ever know. You mean so much to me and I have so much fun when we spend time together! I'm thankful our paths crossed and I get to watch you guys grow up. From the non stop jokes, dance parties in the car to the serious life talks -- I wouldn't trade it for anything. And don't worry, you guys will all have a part in my wedding one day, like you have made me promise.

Here's to many more carpools, drop offs at practices, mall trips, lunches and our heart-to-heart talks. And always remember, even when I have to grow up and be a real adult who has a full time job, I'm just a phone call away and a short drive from coming to your rescue!

Love,

'Your driver'

5 Benefits Of Learning Different Languages

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
