One good thing of having a temporary crush on someone is you gotta act like you’re cool and neglectful but somehow you end up checking their Messenger status every once in a while to see how they were active x minutes/hours/days ago.

I suddenly have these questions and doubts running through my mind. For a long time, in as much as I love doing what I do as a Nanny, there is just no way around the fact that I will always question if I’m doing the right thing or running away from my responsibilities. Everyone has told me many times that they’ve supported me in everything that I do. But I also know that they’ve had their fair share in doubting my steps, or showing concern, in building my career and my future. Often times, I understood that my job as a Nanny will be frowned upon; “Don’t be silly… You’re just a Babysitter. Not a Nanny!” But the more that I get involved with my children, the more I gain knowledge of what I do, I realize that I will hit these brick walls from time to time. I had to accept the mere fact that I will get criticism no matter what I choose to do. What job doesn’t? As I make a huge step in being an Au Pair, considering that I will be stepping out of my familiarity of life, it changes the whole aspect of what I do for a LIVING. I am slowly gaining all my confidence back and I’m more thrilled than ever. I tell myself now, “When you have to go into your head, don’t go alone. It’s usually not a safe neighborhood.” My experience in my career certainly corroborates the truth of this statement. As I make the decision in making drastic changes in my life and in my job - as I go inside my mind for some serious thinking and analyzation - I take the Lord. When I have trouble contacting Him, I follow a simple, three-point plan. • I remind myself that I’ve been in this neighborhood before. • I make a gratitude list. For all that I’ve gained from my Parents (my Mom most especially), for all that I’ve learned through my job, my relationship(s), my shelter, etc. • Pray and meditate that the Lord will give me a sign that I’m going in the right direction. Much as I might like to see a lightning bolt hurled from the sky, I make myself receptive to less dramatic moments of insight. With a glint of light this process in my new world as a future AuPair provides, the neighborhood of my mind may not look like an amusement park, yet it still feels passable. It is, after all, my neighborhood.
