As of this morning, I've accepted the job as nanny.
There are two kids, Rowan who is 5 and a Acacia who is 3. I've been told they are pretty energetic kids, but with so much access to the outdoors, I'm not too worried. It'll be like camp, just without a schedule. The only issue would be if they don't listen, I have a hard time with kids who don't understand what 'no' means... so hopefully they've been well parented. The parents sound pretty cool, too... and I'm excited to work for them.

This means I'm quitting my job at Pharmaprix, finally. I'm going to keep it through to the end of school... one more month. I did enjoy working there for a while, but my boss has been driving crazy recently, which I've found to be undeserved. I'll be glad to put that behind me.
So, it's a little scary... going somewhere I've never been before, and working for people I've never met. While camping for 3 months... in cold and hot weather. Hopefully everything turns out well, and that this will be a good experience for me. I'm not nervous yet, but probably will be closer to May. And at least there are two kids. I deal much better with more children, and find one on one to be really challenging. Thankfully I have a lot of experience in this area... otherwise I definitely wouldn't feel so comfortable with it.
I've been wondering lately if this is what God wants me to do though... it's hard to tell sometimes where He wants me, and what He wants me to do once I'm there. But I was thinking yesterday, God knows me. He knows I'm not one to let opportunity pass, or adventure either. I love to travel and experience new things. He knows me. He wouldn't give me this opportunity and want me to turn it away, when that would go completely against my nature. And I'm keeping in mind that those kids aren't Christians. So maybe He has a bigger purpose for me out there than I thought.
