Staying Put

It's already time to change the title of my blog. This can no longer be The Megabondery Diaries: Tales of a Nomadic Nanny. I've decided to stay here with this family until my "break from the books" is done. (That could be a year or two from now.) You see, I've been falling madly in love with these kind folks, and the idea of leaving for... for another... Well, the idea of leaving is flat out inconceivable!

Who knows what the future holds... However, the family in Vancouver (as mentioned before) will not be part of my future. I spoke with them today and felt a strain in connection. As the kind mother told me about her family and their day-to-day lifestyle, I couldn't picture myself fitting in. I had to decline her fair offer. I imagined myself in Vancouver, feeling alone and feeling like an employee again, which is NOT what I'm looking for. Instead, I'm looking to be part of something more. And the current family in NYC has been able to provide me with more than more!

(They hired a babysitter tonight so that we could all three go out together... They're incredible.)

So, I'm gonna stay put, right here. Let's just hope The Misses meant what she said about me sticking around here for a while longer than planned!
