Perks Of Being A Nanny

You now have two families instead of just one.

Becoming a nanny is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never understood what it really meant to love another family like your own until I started nannying for my current family. From the years that I have been working for them, I have learned so much. There really is no better job than nannying.

1. You do extremely well at multitasking. Whether you're vacuuming the living room while holding the baby, or giving two kids a bath at the same time, you become an expert at doing multiple things at once.

2. You learn how to cook dinner. Before I was a nanny, I was used to coming home to a meal already cooked and on the table. However, I became the person who had to sometimes whip up a meal on the fly. I have gotten really good at making a dinner that all the kids will eat, including the pickiest eater.

3. You become an expert at breaking up arguments. When the kids start going at it with each other, someone's feelings are bound to get hurt. I have learned how to console one child while reprimanding another. I have also gained a lot of insight on what Barbies will cause the most arguments, so those Barbies have gone on "vacation."

4. Changing poopy diapers doesn't scare you anymore. When you're home with the baby and he has a massive explosion in his diaper, there is no one you can go to and ask them to take care of it. Not even the messiest or stinkiest diaper fazes me anymore. I feel like I can tackle any diaper.

5. You become part of another family. You become so close to the family, you practically become part of it. From being invited to parties and special day trips, you feel as though you now have two families instead of just one. This has to be the most rewarding part of nannying.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
