Summer life

My summer has fallen into a routine. Monday-Thursday and sometimes Friday for four hours I nanny. I take the subway from Queens to Grand Central, then hop on the Metro-North Railroad to Bronxville. To sum up Bronxville it's the millionaire's suburbia. It was actually recently featured on "The Real Housewives of New York City," fancy I know. Nannying consists of hanging out with an amazing two year old girl all day since her brother gets picked up for summer camp every morning around 9. We have music class, dance parties, and go to the park. It's so nice to get out of the city everyday and play in a house with a front and back yard and have access to a car. I didn't realize how much I miss driving.  I have a lot of freedom nannying and it's so nice. I hear horror stories from friends nannying in Long Island and the Upper East Side. I love my family and feel so lucky to have found them.

When I am not nannying I'm either trying to get through my online spanish class or I'm at the beach. I never thought of NYC and the beach, but I went last week and it is SO easy to get to. Its just a short trip on the Long Island Rail Road and you arrive in Long Beach, which is white sand and warm water. It was amazing. I look forward to my Saturdays very much.
