Holidays fun away from it all ! ! !

The holidays are here nannies and moms and local caregivers ! What's is the plan for your gataway from the family kids that you care for ?. Do you plan to visit your own family for the holidays eat some real moms cooking for thanksgiving ? Or Plan to spend it with your special person in your life ? Whatever it is spend it for you and only you because that will be the only time you really going to have to think and relax before going back to the " nannytime ".

I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE OUT THERE A VERY BLESS AND SAFE THANKSGIVING .

NANNY AND PARENT RELATIONSHIPS !

LET ME TELL YOU IT IS VERY HARD SOMETIME TO HAVE TO LIVE AS A LIVE-IN NANNY WITH PARENTS WHO SOMETIMES GET ON YOUR NERVE . I AM A VERY PATIENCE PERSON AND LIKE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE HOUSE AND HOW THEY WANT TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN. WELL SOMETIME CONFLICT CAN GET THE WAY AND YOU WONDER AGAIN WHY ARE YOU HERE ?! OH YEAH BECAUSE YOU LOVE KIDS ! FOR ME THE NEXT FAMILY I CHOOSE TO WORK FOR I WILL REALLY SEE THEM FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE !!!

RELAXING AFTER THE KIDS ARE ASLEEP !

HEY ! EVERYBODY ! TELL ME HOW DO YOU RELAX AFTER A CRAZY DAY WITH KIDS ? DO YOU RELAX WITH COFFEE AND A GREAT PAPERBACK BOOK ? OR RUN A RELAXING WARM BATH WITH YOUR FAVORITE BATH OIL ? OR SPEND TIME WITH GOOD FRIENDS ? LOOKING FOR SOME GREAT IDEAS !

KEEPING YOUR PLAY AREA CLEAN !

I CARE FOR TWO SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN , WHEN THEY GO TO SCHOOL I CLEAN UP THE PLAY AREA IN THE BASEMENT OF THEIR HOME. WHEN THEY ARE DOWN IN THE BASEMANT I REMIND THEM TO KEEP IT CLEAN SO IT WILL BE SAFE FOR THEM TO PLAY AND RUN AROUND IN. WELL THE NEXT FEW DAYS I HAVE NOT GONE TO CHECK THE BASEMENT UNTIL THURSDAY AND WHAT I FOUND MADE ME UPSET, SO I WAIT UNTIL ANDTHEY COME FROM SCHOOL AND FEED THEM AND HELP THEM WITH THEY HOMEWORK TOLD THEM TO FOLLOW ME TO THE BASEMENT AND SHOW THEM THE MESS THAT THEY HAVE DONE. I TOLD THEM THEY WILL CLEAN AFTER THEMSELF OR THE STUFF THAT THEY LOVE TO PLAY WITH WILL BE TAKING AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THE BASEMENT IS CLEAN. GUESS WHAT THE AREA WAS CLEAN .

PREPARING SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN FOR SCHOOL!

IT IS A CHALLENGE TO WAKE UP TWO CHILDREN TO WAKE UP TO GO TO SCHOOL. I WAKE THEM UP AT 6:30 AM AT TIMES THE OLDER CHILD GIVE ME A HAD TIME THAT I SPEND TWO MINUTES PULLING HIM FROM THE BED AND THE YOUNGER CHILD WANTS TO GO SAY HEY TO HER MOM WHEN IAM TRYING TO GET THEM . I PREPARE THE SCHOOL UNIFORMS IN THE MORNING AND GO DOWN TO PREPARE THEIR BREAKFAST. THIS IS MY ADVICE FOR MOMS AND NANNIES OF YOUNG CHILDREN PREPARE AND REALLY BE PREPARE FOR YOUR CRAZY MORNING BECAUSE EACH DAY IS DIFFERANT. OH YEAH BE PATIENCE!
