    The Weekly Ten: Reasons Why I Don’t Want Kids

    I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, but I’m currently a nanny to an adorable (when sleeping) four-month old baby boy. Before taking this job, two and half months ago, I thought I wanted kids. I now realize I do not want kids, at least not for a really really (huge emphasis on really here) long time.

    Behind the Scenes with Celebs’ Nannies

    It seems like we’re constantly ooh-ing and ahh-ing over those cute celebri-kids hanging out with their famous ‘rents. But then we notice the giant designer purses, skinny jeans and 4 inch heels some of these moms are wearing. Or the general look of disinterest on these dads’ faces. Are these people really looking after their kids, or are they just in it for the family photo op?

I remember a particular game that could be played anywhere from our Kindergarten classroom’s “kitchen,” to refrigerator boxes in our backyards.

    The Post-Grad Journey: The Job Hunt!

    With a full week in California under my belt, I’ve officially moved in. This move-in was a lot different than any dorm room move-in I’ve done throughout college. Instead of signing for my dorm key, I signed a lease. A real “I’m an adult, I must abide by this contract or I’m legally responsible” lease.

    Okay, so I admit it. Sometimes, when I babysit, I totally go into the fridge and eat some food.
