Perks Of Being A Nanny

You now have two families instead of just one.

Becoming a nanny is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never understood what it really meant to love another family like your own until I started nannying for my current family. From the years that I have been working for them, I have learned so much. There really is no better job than nannying.

1. You do extremely well at multitasking. Whether you're vacuuming the living room while holding the baby, or giving two kids a bath at the same time, you become an expert at doing multiple things at once.

2. You learn how to cook dinner. Before I was a nanny, I was used to coming home to a meal already cooked and on the table. However, I became the person who had to sometimes whip up a meal on the fly. I have gotten really good at making a dinner that all the kids will eat, including the pickiest eater.

3. You become an expert at breaking up arguments. When the kids start going at it with each other, someone's feelings are bound to get hurt. I have learned how to console one child while reprimanding another. I have also gained a lot of insight on what Barbies will cause the most arguments, so those Barbies have gone on "vacation."

4. Changing poopy diapers doesn't scare you anymore. When you're home with the baby and he has a massive explosion in his diaper, there is no one you can go to and ask them to take care of it. Not even the messiest or stinkiest diaper fazes me anymore. I feel like I can tackle any diaper.

5. You become part of another family. You become so close to the family, you practically become part of it. From being invited to parties and special day trips, you feel as though you now have two families instead of just one. This has to be the most rewarding part of nannying.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
