What I'm Thankful For (Work Edition)

I might be a few days late on this post but I still think it should be said.

In regards to my job, I am so thankful for the family that I work for.

I started working for them in August of this year, but it seems like I have been with them for so much longer! I love the boys I watch more than anything and I would do anything for them. When their parents aren't home, I am responsible for them and I treat them like I would my own children. I truly love those boys and I don't know what I will do when I stop nannying for me. (Hopefully that won't be happening for awhile!)

Besides the relationship I have with the boys, the relationship I have built with their parents is just as strong. I might not see the dad that often, but I still never have a problem texting or calling him when I need to. My relationship I have established with their mom is completely different, in a good way. We send each other pictures of the boys whenever we capture adorable moments and when I'm not feeling well, she is sure to text me to ask how I am feeling. I've talked to her about my guy problems and she complains about work. I love the relationship I have with her and I am so thankful that she had two amazing little boys that I get to spend 5 out of my 7 days of the week with.

Whenever I need time off or I need to leave early from work, they never have a problem with coming home early or finding someone else to watch the boys (even though I hate leaving them). When I was planning my trip to Florida for Christmas and it was cheaper to fly down the Thursday before Christmas, they had no problem with letting me leave then, even though I already have all of Christmas week off AND almost the whole week for New Years.

I am one lucky nanny. That is for sure.

I hope all the other nannies out there think they are just as lucky. I never felt like a part of the family with the first family I worked with but now I couldn't even imagine my life without them.

PS- They are doing Elf on the Shelf and it is the cutest thing I've ever been a part of.

Anybody else out there have a sneaky little elf making messes and keeping the kids in check?
