All you need is love!!!!.....

I've been already for almost more than a year in this family and i can say or cry out loud: "They are wonderful, wonderful and i love them, i love them!!!!!.." It's like some Great Power, God, whatever you call this.., brought me to this experience and i'm so happy about it. I feel so connected to them and trully blessed to have such open-minded, honest, generous, thoughtful, loving, smart, funny, relaxed, full of life best friends and even, another mom and dad!!!!:))) I hope my true family won't get offended) I truly love them too... and i miss them as much as they miss me..:))

The Kalmar Family

Hi!!! At last after long time and the last time was winter, i found some inspiration and decided to continue my blog. I quited the other family which i describe before or maybe, i can say, they fired me. Anyway it happened that my friend was going to take me after weekend to work when he was stuck in a busy traffic. It took him 40 min to arrive so i was completely late. Actually that was the second time, the first was also because of the traffic. So i wasn't guilty, i didn't do it deliberately, on the contrary i worried a lot and felt uncomfortable in front of my hostess. Anyway Rebecca was very angry and she said that i didn't take her job seriously. She also said that she felt i wasn't happy with her family which was 80% truth. I was happy with her kids, especially with the baby-girl, but i felt a kind of dipressed in that house. So that's good that she fired me:) After 1 month i found another family. The mother's name is Natalie, and i felt like that was my destiny:)) She turned out to be very kind, generous, happy woman amd i'm very glad i found this family! She has three kids - 2 boys and 1 baby-girl. I have to take care of the last one. The family is very close to mine, Ukrainian. They are very much fun to be with, full of lots of positive energy, attentive to their kids.. Boys' names are - McCartney and Harrison, and girl's - Starr. Does that remind you of smth? Of course!! The English band - The Beatles! ...All the kids are very unique and cute. Natalie's husband Frank is a very nice person too. Both of them are not so sophisticated as other Americans tend to be. They are very open-minded, communicative and by the way live a very healthy thoughtful life. They care about the enviromental problems and try to do everything possible to prevent them - like economy of electricity, recycling, saving water... They are vegeterians, which i like, cos u used to be the one. With them it's even easier. They try not to eat junk food.. And there are many many other good things about them.. I will write about it in every post. Recently on the Mother's Day they congratulated me with the warmest greeting ever and the present - a pink soft rug! The one that i wanted to buy so much for myself! As they say - what you need for happiness.. sometimes only small things make you feel happy...

What do you feel?

We are people of three main things.. Mind, body and soul. So it is quite important to keep all them developed. Today i realized that i'm missing something, it is body, then a little of mind, but to my surprise i do some things that make my soul feel satisfied.. Then i think i should pay more attention to first two things. But let me not think, let me feel..:) I feel like i'm falling in love with the kids more and more.. Today i told the boy that i love him and kissed him before he went to bed.. It was a wonderful moment of love and happiness. Sometimes when i play with a girl i also feel happy, because there is somthing about kids, they are innocent and fresh with new energy ready to live and learn things.. There is also one creature in the house - a lovely dog, who is always so kind and joyful. Her name is Cleopatra(Cleo), i love to hug and tease her! By the way i never typed the names of kids and their parents, so here they are:

Mother - Rebecca (like from the famous book, she is also brunet:))
Father - Jeff (very calm and peace-loving, pleasant in communication)
The girl(1 year old) - Julia (which means 'dove')
The boy(4 year old) - Ari ( which means 'lion')

I think the family is very friendly, and parents really love their kids. Both of them are very caring and try to keep their children always entertained and develop them in all aspects.. There is lots to say about each of them, cos' they have their own personality, but i think i will stop today at this point. :)

Breaking the rules...

They say that wherever you go and whatever you do, you always leave a track after yourself.. I wonder what track do i leave? :) I hope it's not too bad.. Today i had a small quarrel with the woman fo whom i work as a nanny, because I... overslept! Yes, i can say - shame on me, but on the other side i can't blame myself because i really get tired here and even when i go to bed late when i'm supposed to do otherwise to help myself to get up easily early in the morning, i do that because i value my life and i want to make it interesting or just indulge myself a little bit.. That's why i stay awake for a long time before i go to sleep, talking to my friends, watching nice films, reading interesting books or just looking at myself in the mirror and making some exercises... That makes me feel better. Well, everything is becasue of the fact that i am a live-in nanny, that's why i don't have that much of my freedom to do what i want. Anyway, every day i find something new for myself in this family and it makes me feel good about it. Today i decided to clean some toys in the basement (that's where the children play), where nobody had a ready hand to put them in order. And when i finished i was so excited, it's like i made a pleasant thing for myself..:) Though the kids sometimes seem weird to me, when they scream of smth silly and unimportant or want to control everyone(especially the boy does that), i try to find something good in them, all the time, otherwise they would drive me crazy=).. Now i want my kids, with whom i know for sure i will communicate in a better way, or just be a nanny of my younger sister, who is now in Ukraine with my parents and i miss her so much. I actually started to miss my family very much, i didn't do that earlier, now i do... Well, that will be my track in this family - being maximum positive with kids and their parents, having tought them something good, having brought some light in their daily routine..:)

Dejavu or something else?

Life can be so unexpected when you think - how can that happen to me?.. But only yesterday a wonderful thought struck me - all of what I experience at the moment - it's something that I created or was thinking about long time ago. Now I'm in the USA, working in a family as a nanny, that's of what i thought last year.. This sudden insight came out for me as a dejavu, but it's just the truth, and it's keeping on to be proved again and again on my life experience - thoughts, ideas are material.
