My Second Family

Along with my amazing family, there is a family that I consider my second family. It is the family that I nanny for. They have 4 little boys aging from 1 year to 8 years old. They used to live across the street from me, but after the third one was born they moved to Carmel, IN. When they lived across the street I would go over to their house after school and help out with the boys. When they first moved to Carmel it was a little more difficult to get there because I did not have my drivers license yet, but Tom, the dad, would pick me up from school and drive me to their house and back home. When I got my license I drove there two days a week and would stay there until 8pm. During this summer I went there two- three days a week and would usually just spend the night there in their guest room. I would take the older boys, Billy and Tommy to the pool, movies, fishing, and sometimes to Chuck E Cheese, or their sports practices. With the younger boys, Jackson and Matthew, I would usually just play outside with them or take them on walks. I have helped at many of their birthday parties, gone to birthday dinners, and was there their first day of school. They have given me the best job I could ever asked for and have made me feel like a part of their family.
