An Empty House

It has been quite a busy summer for us!! It started with me finding a job! I completed my internship at the church in May and in June I started working at Mom's Best Friend (MBF), a nanny agency. My first month I was working as a backup childcare provider and office assistant. This meant that I would work in the office but when they had last minute nanny jobs come in or a nanny didn't show up for a job, I would go out for temporary nanny jobs. I really enjoyed this position as it provided a lot of variety and I got to spend time with a lot of different kids and families.

At the end of July a full time staff position opened up at MBF. I was given the opportunity to step into this position and am now a Staffing Specialist at MBF. I work with all of the permanent nannies. I interview them, take them through our screening process, help match them with a family and help to provide them opportunities for continued training. Oh and did I mention... I LOVE IT. My job is all about people and providing them with good customer service. I also love it because I work in an office full of wonderful women! It is such a unique environment that I am so thankful to get to spend every day in!

Our summer has also been filled with company. From friends to sisters to other family.... our guest room has gotten a lot of use! We have really enjoyed our time with everyone who has been able to come and visit. But it is nice to be back to just the 2 of us.... at least for a little while!

That is all for now! :)
