the horrified nanny

I;m not sure how to blog...
Right now I am not working as the parents of the wonder baby girl, Virginia, can no longer afford to pay me as the dad is still not working after 6 months of unemployment. Even though they paid me less than I ever made before as a professional nanny, I took the job because I really needed it and they live up the street from me and the baby babbled to me and smiled from our 1 st meeting..always a sign for me. I miss her and try to see her now and than,the worst thing for me is she doesn't understand why I don't come everyday to play, feed and change her.
I've had jobs where i worked in a 17 room mansion on Park avenue for a wirch of a mother, I've worked for a huge salary with much time off and 4-5 hour working days and ten hour days for far less pay.
when i get the hang of this I'll try to go through it all one family at a time, from the rich insane bitch in the mansion to the tv reporter who drove me nuts with her carelessness. My longest position was for my precious Annabelle who will be 14 this March, I cared for her from the time she was 1 week old till she was almost 5, she lives in London now and I still stay in touch. She would introduce me as "my Patti" because thats who I was..my mommy, my daddy and my Patti.MUch more about Annabelle later on as I spent th most years with her at 68th Street and Park in NYc.
