  2. The reason I am the way I am today is because… Of these two young boys…Emerson and Holden

  3. They were my life… I was a nanny for Emerson and Holden for 2 ½ years…

  4. But I wasn’t just a nanny… • I was a chef, a friend, a maid, a personal driver and a mother... • But the most important role I played was a teacher… • They taught me how important it is to be nurturing and supportive of all of their dreams… • No matter how silly they were…

  5. By allowing them to play and use their imagination… they were able to find out what their strengths were. Holden is taking guitar lessons… And Emerson is in an art class…

  6. While I was very close with both boys, Holden was my baby!!! I Love him!!!

  7. I started watching Holden when he was only 6 months old…

  8. Being a nanny made me realize… • I love kids • I enjoy watching how influential I can be • I want to have a family of my own one day • But most of all I found out… • IWANTTOBEATEACHER!!!

  9. When I found out that I was no longer going to nanny for the boys, it was a sad and upsetting day… • Needless to say, Holden wasn’t happy about it either… • I still talk to the boys and sit for them whenever I can • In fact, we are all having a sleep over soon and the boys just cannot wait…
