I am a Nanny

It's official; I am a nanny. I am 44 years old, and have worked with children in one capacity or another for 25 years. I have just moved on from the preschool where I taught for the past 15 years. I wanted to slow down. I wanted fewer administrative duties. I wanted to write.

I didn't know I would write a blog about being a nanny. I got the idea from Jesus.

I take care of a 4-year-old girl named Aurora. Her name isn't really Aurora, but I had to come up with a pseudonym, and this girl loves the Disney Princesses so much, I thought it was fitting. And I happen to like Aurora better than Snow White, I've discovered. More on that another time.

Anyway, back to Jesus. Aurora has a toy Jesus in a manger, except she doesn't say he's in a manger. The first day I was her nanny, she said, "Here is Jesus in his car seat."
I couldn't just let that go.

And thus, "why are you my nanny?" was born. Thank you, Jesus.
