Babble...

2 days left of work at the semiconductor plant. On Tuesday, I start working as a nanny for a wealthy Saratoga family. The change is far less drastic than my move across the country last summer, but it is putting stress on me. I'm having anxiety dreams and have all but lost my appetite. I'm terribly afraid of the dad. Partly, I think that's because I'm afraid of Dad's. But also, from what I've seen so far, I really don't like the way he deals with the littlest one. He yells at her and punishes her for what is certainly age-appropriate behavior. My inner child relates intensely with the stress that puts on her....

I hope to be able to influence this family in a positive way....

I'm going to change the names of this family for confidentiality.

I dub thee...
Oldest girl...Goat Girl
Oldest boy...Young Einstein
Youngest Girl...Little Bunny
Dad....The Dad
Mom....The Mom
